INTRODUCTION. 



The publishers of this book have undertaken the 
issue of a series of educational works designed to 
assist students in the attempt to master the conver- 
sational idioms of various languages. Several of 
these works are already favourably known to the 
public, and it is hoped that the one now presented to 
the reader will secure an equally indulgent reception. 
The plan on which it is constructed has long re- 
ceived the approbation of educational authorities; 
and it needs but a few words to show what has 
been the author's object in writing the following 
pages. 

However excellent may be the instruction derived 
from a systematic study of the classic English writers, 
it must be clear to every one that something further 
must be learnt before the student is prepared to 
bring his knowledge into actual every-day use. The 
material, no less than the style, of ordinary language 
is different from that employed in a poem or an 
essay. This book is designed to obviate the neces- 
sity of a residence in England, by throwing the 
reader as far as possible into the circumstances of 
common life. We have not attempted, as some haye 
erroneously done, to "collect a number of sentences. 



VI 



extracted from the best authors", but to present a 
compilation of a more colloquial, and therefore more 
f, useful, though less ambitious character. A glance 
through the book itself will show that it embraces 
a very large range of topics. At the same time, 
we have remembered that in order to instruct young 
people, it is absolutely necessary to amuse them. 
We have therefore not satisfied ourselves with mak- 
*m|--a phrase-book of dry, disconnected questions 
and answers, but have endeavoured to render the 
different exercises as entertaining as possible by 
clothing them with life and actuality. 

Experienced teachers will readily adopt the mode 
best adapted for their pupils, but for those who are 
engaged in self-instruction, it may be as well to add 
that constant translation and retranslation, continued 
and repeated until the learner has mastered and 
appropriated every word and phrase will alone en- 
sure his success. 

The earlier exercises are purposely simple and 
easy. It is believed that the subsequent ones will 
be found to increase in difficulty, and* at the same 
time in interest. 

It is earnestly hoped that this attempt to facili- 
tate the progress of the student will be successful, 
but those who use it are the only persons who can 
judge whether it is worthy of the favour which we 
have laboured to ensure.

The Author. 



How are you? I hope you are in good health. What is 
your name? — My name is James. — Have you not a 
brother? — I have a brother. This is he. His name is 
William. — Are you older than he? — Yes, I am older 
by two years. — You are not much taller. — No; he is 
very tall for his age. 

What is the time? — It is past six o'clock. — It gets 
dark. Light the gas. Close the shutters. It is very cold. 
Yes; it is raining, it has been' raining nearly all day. — 
Put some coals on the fire. — Where is the poker? — It 
is lying by the side of the fender. — So it is. 

How do you do ? I hope you are well. — I am, I thank 
you. — Are you the man? — I am he. — What is your 
name? — John. — Was that your son? — Yes. — How 
old is he ? — Eleven. — What a fine boy ! — Walk in. 
My wife, Sir. — I am glad to see you. — Take a chair. — 
I will sit here. — Where is Robert? — Robert is gone out. 

— Send for him. — He is in the garden. 

Is Mr. B. in? — He is not at home. — When will he 
be at home? — To-morrow. — Will you have a glass of 
wine? — I never take wine, thank you. — Do you smoke? 

— Not very often. I am fatigued. — Rest on the sofa. — 
I should be disturbed. — I will take care you are not. — * 

The English Echo. - 4 



— Then I will lie down for a short time. — Half an hour's 
nap will revive you. 

Do you work crochet? — I am very fond of it. — It 
is a useful pastime. — Lace my stays. — The lace is 
broken. — Here is a new one. — It is too long. — Cut it 
in two, then. — That will do; it is just the thing, now. — 
Call the maid, I want some water. 



You are looking better than you did a month ago. — 
I am very much improved in health. — I am glad to hear 
it. How are your father and mother? — My father is not 
very well, and my mother is from home. — Was she well 
when you heard from her last? — She was in very good 
spirits, and did not complain. 

Where are you going? — I am going to King Street. — 
Where does Mrs. B. reside? — At No. 108 St. George's 
Terrace. — I am going to call on her. — Maria, your boot 
is unlaced. Call the servant. — Bring in the tea, now. — 
Where shall I place it? — On the table. Is the water hot? — 
It has just boiled. — Do you take sugar in your tea? — 
I do generally, thank you. — Will you have the lump 
sugar? — Yes. 

How far have you walked? — Two miles. I am very 
tired. — I am very sick. — You do not look well. — I 
will take a cup of tea. — This cup and saucer do not 
match. — The saucer that belongs to that cup is lost. — 
How came that to pass? — I don't know, I'm sure; I am 
sorry it is so. — It is a pity; it is very old china. 

Bring the chess-board ; I will have a game with you. — 
I cannot find the board. — It is somewhere in the study, I 
believe. — Would you rather not have a game at cards ? 
' — I should very much prefer chess if you can find the 
board. Let me see, I will go and look for it myself. I re- 
member the shelf I put it on. Here it is; now then, I shall 
have my revenge for the game you won yesterday. 



3. 

Well, Sir, you see I have come. — I am very glad to 
see you; dinner is ready. — I hope I have not kept you 
waiting. — You have not, this is our usual hour for din- 
ing. — How is your family? — They are well, I thank 
you. — Let me take your hat. — Thank you, I will hang 
it here. — John, remove this luggage. Now, my dear 
friend, will you follow me to your room. 

Sit here at my right hand. — What s a fine river! — I 
am glad you admire it. — The valley is most beautiful. — 
It is more so in the autumn. — The woodland is extensive 
and the river winding. — You will have a still better pro- 
spect from the garden. — I am delighted to hear you say 
so. — Do you take soup? — I will take a little, thank 
you. — I am afraid it is not very good; our cook is a new 
hand. — I enjoy it much. 

Your garden is laid out with great taste. — I am pleased 
to hear you admire it. — These roses are very fine. — 
But have you seen these fuchsias? — Beautiful! how grace- 
ful! — They are rich and elegant. — Your box is kept in 
good order. — Yes; John is a very fair gardener. — What 
an odour comes from that honey-suckle ! — It is certainly 
very sweet. 

You have not seen the river; follow me and I wall lead 
you to it. — What a deep ravine! — Mind your footsteps, 
the stones are loose. — I will take hold of the trees , and 
that will prevent my falling. — Now, we are at the bot- 
tom. — What a noise the water makes ! — There is the 
fall! — Where? — To the right, among the trees. 

You are tired with your walk. — Yes, I am a little 
wearied. — There is a chair, sit down! — How short the 
days are getting ! — I will light the candle. There are no 
matches. — Yes, here is one. — Where are the snuffers? 
There they are ! — No , the tray is here , but the snuffers 
are wanting. — The servant has forgotten them.

4. 

I have been taking a walk over the hills. — Then you are, 

I am sure, delighted with the scenery. — Well, I must say 

it is very fine. — Yes, the prospect from the summit of 

yonder hill is glorious, we could see the ocean in the distance. 

— It would be very beautiful in the rays of the declining sun. 

— Very! — Are you disposed to walk farther? — 1 have 
no objection. — Come, then; let us go round this hill, by 
this narrow path. — "Well; good bye! you take this turn- 
ing to the left, and I go straight forward. — Good night! 
I shall sleep soundly after the long walk I have had. 

Good morning! I have not seen you for an age. — I 
have been unwell. — I am very sorry to hear it. — Are 
you going my way? — I am going into the High-Street on 
business. — Then we can walk so far together. — With 
pleasure. — Where do you reside now ? — About half a 
mile from town. — I will come some day and see you. — 
I shall be most happy to receive you whenever you come. 

Here I am at last, Sir! — You are very welcome. — 
I hope you received my letter. — It arrived last night by 
the post. — I should have been here earlier, but I missed 
the train. — That is unfortunate, how did that happen? — 
My watch was wrong, perhaps I omitted to wind it up. — 
That was very careless. 

5. 
We intend to take you with us to town next week, Ro- 
bert, if your master's report of you is a good one. — I shall 
be so glad to go, papa; but I'm afraid. — Afraid of 
what? I hope you have not been misbehaving? — Oh, dear 
no! what could make you think of such a thing, papa? — 
Nay, my boy, I thought, your manner seemed to indicate 
something of the sort. — I am afraid my lessons have been 
too difficult, I intend to work hard to-day. — Make haste 
and finish your breakfast , or you will be late for school. 

— 0, dear no, papa! school begins at nine, and it is now 
just half past eight. — Good-bye! 



Well, Robert, where have you been? — I have just 
come from school, papa! — Just come from school? you 
are very late. — Yes, I am rather late. — How is that? — 
My Latin lesson was not well prepared. I was kept in to 
learn it. — I told you so. You should rise earlier. — I 
will, papa. I assure you I shall not fail to-morrow. — In 
what did you fail? in Construing? — No, in Grammar. I 
find it very difficult to get up my Syntax well. — I am 
afraid you do not apply yourself sufficiently. — I work at 
it very hard, but I do not succeed. — The reason is per- 
haps you do not like it. — I don't like it, papa, that is the 
truth ! — Oh, my boy ! you must work hard at it, and when 
you overcome the difficulty you feel at first, you will get 
to like it. — Well, but papa, I have worked hard. — Try 
again, nothing worth having can be had without labour. 

I hope you did better in your other lessons ? — 0, yes 
papa! I was top of the class in Arithmetic. — That is 
good; what are you doing now in Arithmetic? — The Rule 
of Three; to-morrow we begin with Simple interest. 



What have you got to engage yourself this evening ? — 
I am going to copy some sketches I made this morning 
down at the abbey. — Let me see them; will you? They 
are very good. You have got the old stairs very correctly. 

— Don't you think the arch of the window is too pointed? 

— Certainly not; I think you have got the general outline 
very correctly. — I am very glad to hear you say so. — 
On what sort of paper do you intend copying it? — Well, 
what do you think? Do you not think it would look well 
on tinted paper? — Certainly. 

Have you a lead-pencil? — Yes. — Will you lend it 
to me? — With pleasure. It is in my desk; I will run and 
get it. I won't be a minute. — Don't hurry, I am in no 
haste. — Here it is. — How blunt it is! lend me your knife. 

— I have lost it; I let it fall last night among the grass, 



when I was cutting a stick. — Never mind , it marks very 
well. — How vexatious ! I have made a mistake. — I have 
a piece of India-rubber; shall I lend it you? — You are 
very kind; 1 am afraid, I am very troublesome. — Oh, not 
at all ! it is a pleasure to help you. 

What are you writing? — My French exercise. — Should 
it not be written in ink ? — Yes , when I have finished it, 
I shall copy it into a book. — That is right; I am very 
glad to see you take such pains. — I am very apt to make 
mistakes, and therefore I have to be very careful. — Right 
again! follow that rule in all things, and you will make 
your way in the world. 

7. 

Mary, put a clean doily on my dressing-table, and ar- 
range the articles in the room. — I will first of all bring 
some water. — Make haste, then. — Where have you put 
the hooks and eyes? I saw you with them yesterday after- 
noon. — Nay, but you borrowed them after that. — Oh, 
I remember! to be sure I did! and put them in my dress- 
ing-case. I will get you them in a minute. — Never mind; 
I can do without them for a while. — I'll get them at once; 
here they are! — Well, you have been rapid in your move- 
ments. 

Lend me a needle and thread. — What do you want 
them for? — To sew r on a button. — You will want some 
strong cotton, then. Will you have white or black? — 
Have you any strong brown thread? — Yes, I have; you 
mean this, don't you? — That is the thing! — Now, then, 
I shall manage first-rate. 

How do you like my shawl? — Very much; I admired 
it exceedingly when I saw it on you, last Sunday. — I got 
it a great bargain. — Where did you purchase it, may I 
ask? — I bought it at B.'s, in Regent Street. 



8. 
What o'clock is it, pray? my watch has stopped. — 
I am sorry I cannot tell you, for I left my time-piece at the 
watchmaker's this morning. — Let me see; there should be 
a church somewhere hereabouts. — We just passed it on 
the left hand side. — Let us return and ascertain the time. 

— Why, I declare it is five and twenty minutes past three. 

— How rapidly the time has passed; it appears only a few 
minutes since we left Mrs. G.'s, and yet it is fully an hour and 
a half. — Well; good bye! I must hasten home, and look 
over the results of my shopping expedition. 

These stockings are made of lamb's-wool. The work- 
manship is very superior. — They are woven by the hand. 

— How many pairs of them have you? — A dozen. I in- 
tend to purchase another half-dozen. — Where did you 
procure the ribbons you have on your new bonnet? — Well, 
that is more than I can tell you; my mother procured them 
in the neighbouring town. — I believe she is very expert 
at making a bargain. — Yes, she exhibits considerable 
skill in purchasing articles of dress. — She has, no doubt, 
had great experience. — Of course; she has had a large 
family to provide for. Economy and judgment are a for- 
tune in themselves. 

9. 

What are you engaged in? — I am busy with my 
French. — Can I help you? — I wish you would. — You 
do very well for a beginner. — Do you think so? — 1 do 
really. — I am glad to hear it. — Have you begun to learn 
German? ■ — Not yet. — You must do so soon. — It is 
very difficult? — It is difficuM rather. — It is a very fine 
language, I believe. — Very; it contains a splendid li- 
terature. 

Have you finished? — Yes; I have almost done. Here! 
I have done ! — Shall I look it over? — I shall consider 
it a great favor if you will. — Ah ! I see you have made 



8 

a serious mistake. — How very stupid of me ! — Not at 
all! I perceive it is a very natural one. 

What shall we do now? — "What say you to a game 
at quoits ? — I should like it above every thing. — Come 
on, then ! — Stop. I can see only three quoits. I am sure, 
there were four this morning. — Here is the other! it was 
hidden among this long grass, by the hedge side. — Which 
set of quoits will you have ? — I'm not at all particular, 
thank you, one will do as well as another. — You pitch 
too high. Aye , that is better. — Shall we have another 
game? — Of course, I wish to beat you once, at all events. 

— I am afraid, my boy, you cannot do that. — Stop a bit! 
we shall see. — I feel as if you had beaten already. 

10. 

Have you procured any Berlin wool? — Yes, I pur- 
chased some when I was in the town yesterday. — Where 
did you put it? — I left it in my basket, in the breakfast- 
room. Mary! bring the basket you will find lying on the 
side-table in the breakfast-room. — Now, what do you 
think of this ? — How very beautiful! — It is of the finest 
colours and quality. — Oh, I long to get to work with it! 

— Well , my dear , you can begin at once. 

Do not break your thread; cut it with your scissors. — 
I have mislaid them. — That is just like you; you. never 
have any thing at hand when you require it. — Don't 
scold me, mamma : I will go at once and look for them. — 
Why, child! here they are in your dressing-case! — How 
very provoking! 

Lend me your crochet needle, please. — What a much 
nicer one yours is than miqfc — I think the only difference 
is that I have taken more care of mine than you have of 
yours — There you have me again! Do be merciful to 
poor me! 

Will you accompany me into the garden? — Oh, yes, 
certainly; but why? — Never mind; you will see. — But 



stop ! if it is nothing of consequence I would rather remain 
in-doors. — You must come; you know you have promised. 
— Ah, you have me there! but pray tell me the reason. — 
I have found some strawberries quite ripe. — That alters 
the case , quite ! I will' come at once. — I thought you 
would; am I a troublesome fellow, now? — Not at all! 
where are the ripe strawberries? — Look! are they not 
very fine fruit? — What a luscious fruit the strawberry is! 
It is the finest of all our fruits, I think. — There you are 
right! 

There is a beautiful violet; gather it. — Here is another 
with a far richer colour. — Pluck me a pink, to put with 
this pansy. — See, what a beautiful moss-rose! — Have 
you no geraniums? — Plenty. — Are they here? — Take 
care ! you are trampling on some flowers. 

44. 

Ah ! I thought it was you whom I saw in the garden ; 
come in! — Is breakfast ready? — I believe it is; you are 
hungry with your morning's walk. — I am rather so ; the 
air is bracing and I was up early. — Not that way, this is 
the breakfast-parlour. Do you take tea or colfee ? — Thank 
you, I have no choice. — Shall you walk after breakfast? — 
I have engaged to do so with a friend; but shall be happy 
to have your company also. 

Have you seen the papers this morning ? — No, I have 
not, I suppose there is news of interest. — I have not met 
with any; politics are at a stand-still. — Your cup is empty, 
allow me to pass it. — I thank you, but I have finished. 

Do you think the weather is likely to keep fine? — 
These clouds would seem to indicate otherwise. — ■ Have 
you a taste for poetry ? If you have, I can lend you a volume 
of poems which have been very favorably received. — I 
will avail myself of your kindness. 

Is this your youngest son ? — Yes, this is my youngest. 
— How many children have you? — Two sons and three 



10 

daughters. — Ah, here they are! what fine children! I envy 
you, my friend, the possession of such creatures. 

When were you at home last? — I was there for a few 
days at Christmas. — Your father, I believe, is dead. — 
He died about six months ago. — What age was he? — 
Fifty-six. 

In what quarter is the wind ? — In the South-west. — 
We have had much rain lately in this neighbourhood. 

12. 

Is Charles within? — Yes, he is; he is just going to 
school. — Tell him I shall be glad to go with him. — He 
will join you directly in the garden. 

George ! where are you, old boy ? — Here I am, Char- 
ley! — I thought perhaps you were hiding among the 
trees. — No, I was sitting there waiting for you. — Well, 
come along, let's be off. — Aye, when we have to go, the 
sooner we get there the better. The more one lingers the 
more one desires to remain and play, so fine a day as this. 
— You're right there, my boy! — Why, I declare, there is 
the bell ringing! Let us run. — Oh, dear! I'm almost out 
of breath. — So am I. 

Jane, you do not look very well to-day. — I caught 
cold I think yesterday. — You must be very cautious how 
you treat your colds; for remember you were laid up last 
year with one. — I will take something for it to-night. — 
Yes, and you had better lie in bed to-morrow. — I shall 
see how I feel when the morning comes. 

Good morning. Your cold, I hope, is better. — Thank 
you, it has nearly left me. — What do you intend to do 
this morning. — I shall work at my embroidery, I think. 

43. 
Ah, James*, is that you? — Good morning, my dear fel- 
low, how lucky we met! — Yes, we can go to school to- 
gether. — We must haste, though, or we shall be late. — 



11 

We need not hurry; there is plenty of time. — Ah, my boy! 
but I should not like to be a minute behindhand; I have 
never been late yet, and I want to keep up my character 
for punctuality. — Well, I'm sure I should be the last in 
the world to desire to make you forfeit your character for 
punctuality, but I can assure you there is plenty of time. — 
Is there? I am glad of it. 

Had you any fun last night? — Not much; I took a 
stroll with my father and mother. — I hear that S. is 
going to leave school soon. — Is he? I'm sorry for that, 
how well he plays at cricket! — Capitally; C. is not half 
so good a player. — Well, I don't know that, C. plays 
with great skill occasionally; I have seen him deal the 
balls some tremendous raps. — Yes, I don't doubt that, 
but you know good playing does not consist in hard-hitting. 

Do you like K.? — Not much, he has no life in him. 

— That is true. — He does very well in class. — Yes ; 
and is very willing to help; there is some good in him. — 
He should play more, though; you know, "All work and 
no play makes Jack a dull boy." I say that is the best 
maxim ever spoken. — Look! yonder is K. How sleepy 
he looks! He is never more than half awake. Shall we 
join him? — No; it would be a pity to awaken him. 

What do you think of the new Master? — Pretty well. 

— He's rather sharp. — Yes, he makes us work. How 
pleased he looks when we do well. — I like that; I have 
done much more since he came. 

Do you know your lessons this morning? — Not per- 
fectly, I am sorry to say. — WTiat a pity! I know mine. — 
I wish I could say that. — Dear me, how late it is! — Is 
it past school-time? — Yes; we have loitered; come,wemust 
make haste now, or it will be worse for us. 

U. 

Why B., is that you? — How do you do? Why, where 
have you come from? — I have been for some time in Ger- 



12 

many. — That accounts for my not seeing you of late. — 
Pray , what are you doing strolling about so early ? — I 
am giving myself a holiday and employing it in walking 
about seeing whatever is worth seeing. — Are you going to 
the Museum yonder? — Yes, I am just on my way thither; 
for, strange to say, I have not seen it since I was a youth. 

— Well, I won't detain you; good bye. — Adieu! Call 
and see me to-morrow at my old lodgings. — I will cer- 
tainly. Farewell! 

Hollo, where are you off to with your carpet-bag? — 
I am going down to Brighton, to spend a few days there. 

— Well, I nope you will enjoy yourself. Is any one going 
with you? — No, but I expect to meet a few friends when 
I get there. — That is very pleasant; it is exceedingly 
lonely to be in a strange place by one's self. — Yes; and 
had I not the certain prospect of meeting some whom I 
know when I get there, I should certainly never go for so- 
litary enjoyment to Brighton. — There you are right! — 
I think when one leaves home and business, it should be 
for complete recreation and pleasure. 

There are two policemen, leaning against the lamp-post, 
killing the time by conversation. — Poor fellows! I should 
fancy they have not a very pleasant time of it. — Their 
duties require their constant attention. The supervision 
exercised over them is, I believe, very close. — It is ne- 
cessary that it should be so. 

See! here is the warehouse that was burnt down, last 
evening. — What a destruction of valuable property ? — 
Have you heard whether it was insured, or not? — No, I 
have not; but I should think it was. — Look at the plate- 
glass windows, they are melted into one solid mass. 

15. 

Louisa, stir the fire. — Here are no coals; shall I ring 
the bell? — You had better do so; it is very cold. — It 
was snowing nearly all night. — The water in my room 



13 

was frozen. — It will be a fine day for skating. — Bring 
your chair a little nearer the fire. — How the wind whistles 
without! I should not like to be in the open country such 
a night as this. — No ; we should be very thankful that 
Providence does not demand it of us. — "What was that 
against the window? — Some poor bird, blown by the 
wind. — Ring the bell ; we will have in the tea. — It is al- 
ways very welcome; it serves to break the monotony of the 
evening. 

Here are some books with pictures in, my dears. — 
Oh, mamma, how glad I am you found them! — You must 
be very careful you don't damage them in the slightest de- 
gree , or papa will be very vexed. — This is St. Paul's : 
what an immense building it appears to be. — It is very 
extensive, although there are larger buildings than it. Here 
is a fine engraving of Old London Bridge. There are houses 
all along it on both sides. — How funny! a bridge with 
houses. 

«J say, Mary, is not this Charley's chamber-door? .- — 
Yes, Sir, it is. — Charley! get up! Don't you see what a 
fine morning it is? get up! and let us have a nice walk. — 
I will come down directly. I am very glad you awoke me. 

— Make haste. I will wait for you in the library. — Al- 
fred, I am ready. — Come along; which way shall we go? 

— Let us turn down the lane to the left , and walk by the 
river side. — That is my favorite walk. — Let us hasten, 
and then w r e shall have a good long walk. — How glorious 
the sun looks, rising above the hills ! It makes the water 
look like gold. — See there! did you see that fish? — It 
is time we turned. 

16. 

Papa, w T hy did you not go with us this morning? — I 
had some work to do ; I have been writing since six o'clock, 
and it is now half past eight. — I wonder if breakfast 
is ready. — 0, here is Anne; is breakfast ready, Anne? — 



u 

Quite ready, Sir. — I am glad of that, I am very hungry; 
I shall make a good breakfast. 

Do you take tea or coffee, mamma? — Tea, thank you, 
Eliza. Robert, give your father some ham. — No ham 
for me, thank you; I prefer an egg or two. — Robert, you 
take coffee, I think? — If you please. — The bread and 
butter is near you; help yourself, and don't wait for us. — 
I have done, you must excuse me, I must go; I am afraid 
I shall be late. — Have you prepared all your lessons? 
You have been rather idle. — I shall do very well; they 
are not difficult. — Make haste home after school. — I 
will, mamma. Good bye! — Good bye, my boy, God bless 
you! — How tall Robert grows! — Yes, he is becoming a 
very fine boy. — I hope he will be as good as he is strong 
and comely. 

What have you been doing at school? — We have 
been studying Geography, and have also had a short lecture 
on the air-pump. — Nothing else? — O yes! after prayers 
in the morning the Principal gave the usual religious in- 
struction to the whole school. — What did he talk about? 
He has been going through the life of Joseph for the last 
day or two; I like very much what he has been saying : ic 
is very interesting. — Well, you have had a very nice day's 
work. Let us go to tea; it was nearly ready when you 
came. — After tea I will prepare my Latin lesson, and then 
you will play at chess with me, won't you, papa? — With 
pleasure, my boy; and after that we shall have a little time 
for the nice book we began last evening. 

Have you change for a sovereign, William? — Yes; I 
believe I have. No, I have not. I will send and get you 
it. — You are very kind. 

17. 

Have you been far this morning? — Not very; I walked 
as far as the Castle. — And don't you call that a long 
walk? I do, I am sure, if you don't. — Well, it is not very 



15 

long for me; you see I am used to walking a long distance. 

— That is very true, and it makes all the difference. 
Have you seen these rare prints I have got from Lon- 
don? — No, I have not; pray, let me look at them. — Ah! 
here is an old acquaintance. Don't you recognise it? — 
No, I certainly cannot say that I do. — Why it's the old 
abbey down b} 7, the river side. — Now you mention it, I 
recognise it at once. 

But come in; you must be weary with your walk. You 
will let me give you a little wine. — Thank you, sherry. — 
John, bring the decanter from the side-board. Will you have 
it in a tumbler, with a little water? — ■ Thank you, I should 
prefer it so. 

Are you fond of fruit ? If you are , follow me to the 
garden. — What fine cherries! — Climb the ladder and 
you will then be better able to reach them. — The ladder 
is broken; three steps are wanting. — Turn the other end 
up, and you will manage. 

Have you sent my boots to be mended? — The shoe- 
maker called for them this morning. — Did you tell him 
to have them done by Thursday? — He will send them 
home on Wednesday evening. 

Are you going up stairs? — Yes, but I shall return 
immediately. — Pray, do you expect company? — I think 
il^is probable my friend from Lisbon will call to-night. — 
Then I must not be out of the way, as I wish to be intro- 
duced. 

There is a knock at the door. — That will no doubt be he. 

— No; it is only the postman. — Here is a letter for you. 

— I am very glad; I have long been expecting one. — 
There is two pence to pay, your friend has forgotten to put 
a stamp on it. 

18. 

Help me on with my coat. — Here is your stick. — I 
shall be back for dinner; do not wait for me, however. — 



16 

The gig is at tbe door. I see he has put in the brown mare. 
Good morning, my friend; a pleasant journey. 

Stop! you have dropped your pocket-handkerchief. — 
Thank you; I should have been sorry had I lost it; it was 
the gift of a dear friend. — I am glad I was able to restore 
you such a treasure. 

Do you take snuff? — No , I have not learnt so bad a 
habit yet. — May you never acquire it! — It is, I have 
heard, very pernicious. — That is very correct. 

Have you heard the clock strike? — No, I have not. 
It is not yet time, I think, to start. — Stay ! I will run and 
look at the time-piece in the hall. — pray, don't trouble 
yourself. — It is no trouble in the world. — Well; what 
is the hour? — It is not yet seven o'clock. — Then I have 
plenty of time. — Are you going to take your carpet-bag 
with you? — No, I prefer my small portmanteau; it is 
more convenient. — How far shall you get on your jour- 
ney to-day? — I expect to get all through. — What, three 
hundred and fifty miles ? — It is more than that. — Here 
is the cab. Good bye. Write me soon. 

19. 

Mary, have you had your music lesson this morning? 
— Yes, mamma ; the music-master came rather earlier than 
usual. — And how did he say you were getting on ? — He 
praised my attention very much ; and was so pleased with 
my progress that he gave me a new song. — It is very 
gratifying to me to hear you give your instructors satis- 
faction. 

I have an invitation to go out to a party to-night; may 
I go, mamma? — I got an invitation for you this morn- 
ing. I think I shall allow you to go. But come ! get your 
bonnet and follow me. 

Are the peaches ripe? — Not yet. There are very few 
on that tree. It has been a bad season for fruit. There 
is too much wood about this apple-tree. — It grows very 



47 

j good apples, nevertheless. — No; they are too small. — 
Shall we have any wall-fruit? — I hope the insects have 
! not destroyed those very fine plums. — It would be a 
| great pity that so fine fruit should be lost this, season. 

How sweet the flowers smell ! — Shall I pluck you a 
I rose ? — Take care ! you are shaking the leaves off. — Mamma 
' wants some flowers for the drawing-room. Let us gather 
j some. what a pretty geranium! — Yes; that is called 
; the horse-shoe geranium. — What do you think of this 
i dahlia? — It is a most lovely flower. 



20. 

William, I have this morning received a letter from 
my cousin George. — Where is he residing now? — He 
is engaged in a Manchester warehouse. — Some of those 
(♦situations are highly remunerative, I understand. — Yes, 
I and they are proportionately responsible. — Just so; the 
t rade of Manchester is very extensive, is it not? — Very; 
nut to change the subject, what do you think of a trip over 
to^G.? — I should like it beyond measure. — To-morrow 
then, if nothing intervenes, we will arrange a picnic, and 
have a day of it. — Done! I wanted something of the sort, 
just to enliven me a little. 

» Allow me to offer you my arm. — I thank you, I pre- 
_ Ir walking alone. It is very hot. — The heat is certainly 
intense. Put up your parasol. — I have broken the handle 
of it. — What! since you came out? — No; about a month 
ago. — You ought to have got it mended ere this. — I 
have not had time. 

Sit on the sofa. What would you like for supper? — 
A little milk and bread. — Won't you have an egg? — 
You are very kind, I will. — Poached or boiled? — I 
prefer it boiled. — When do you rise? — At half past 
six.

Has the son of your friend procured a situation yet? — 
I believe he has; but I have not seen him lately to inquire 
particulars. — He had the prospect of a very good one in 
a merchant's counting-house in Sheffield. — Yes, but his 
father thought the confinement would be too much for his 
health. I believe, moreover, that Sheffield is a very smoky 
place. — It is however considered healthy. 

Have you done with the umbrella I lent you the other 
day? — I must really beg your pardon for detaining it so 
long; owing to the fine weather it completely slipped my 
memory. — Oh, don't mention it, pray, I have not re- 
quired it. 

The house at the corner of the street is to be let, I 
see. — Yes, the former occupier is dead. He died I believ 
of rapid decline. He was only unwell about six week 
Formerly, he was considered a very healthy man. — He 
was ; he caught cold when bathing. 

Did you read the speech of Lord B. in yesterday's 
"Times"? — Yes, I did; and very much delighted I was 
with it. He is a noble fellow, and eminent statesman, 
and a true philanthropist. — I quite agree with you; his 
character as a public man has always been consistent. H< 
is getting into years now, but his intellect does not se 
in the least impaired. His youth was sedate and respect- 
able, and free from those follies which sometimes disfigure 
the early manhood of our aristocracy. I have heard that 
at College he applied himself closely to study, and was 
double first-class of his year. — I believe your statement 
is quite correct. 

Come let us walk to the library, and see if they have got 
in any new publications. — Here! you have left your 
gloves. — Oh, thank you! they must have fallen out of my 
hat. — John! we shall not dine at home to-day.

1 am going to fish to-day, Charles. Will you go with 
me? — Yes, but I have no fishing tackle. — Never mind; 
I am quite prepared, and I can lend you a rod and line 
and hooks. — Let us away, then, to the river. There's a 
nice path by the fields. Here is a pretty stream. — Ha ! I 
have hooked something. Bring me the landing-net. I feel 
that it is a very large fish, it pulls so hard. It is a trout, 
and a very fine one. 

Now I have got an eel. Let us try another place. Shall 
we sit down on the grass, and eat our sandwiches? 

Have you seen our old companion G-. lately? — No, 
he is from home , he is gone into the country. — Why has 
he left home? — He had a fever, and the physicians 
ordered him to go. 

Now let us fish again. See! I have caught two. I like 
fly-fishing much better than bottom-fishing. — I think it is 
Jfefter for trout but it requires a more skilful hand and 
greater practice. — What bait are you using? — An arti- 
ficial minnow. I am trying to catch some pike. 

Will you take tea at our house ? ■ — With great plea- 
sure, but I shall leave my rod and tackle on the way. — 
Pray, bring your flute with you; we will practise some 
duets together. — Very well; I am very fond of concerted 
music. After tea we .shall play at chess. — I am afraid 
you will beat me at that! — Oh no! I am a poor player. 
— Do you ever try draughts? — Yes, I like it better 
than chess. 

23. 

Quick! Charles, or we shall not catch the boat; you 
must have overslept yourself. — Why, where are we to 
go? — Have you forgotten our promised sail down the 
river to Woolwich? Let us hasten; our friends will be ex- 

. 2*

peeling us. — My memory has been treacherous for once; 
I had indeed forgotten it, but I shall be ready directly to 
go with you. — Luckily we have got a warm sunny day ; 
the breeze on the river will be delightful. — The sky is 
certainly very clear and cloudless; but it is dangerous to 
face an entire English day without an umbrella. I should 
not be surprised if we had a shower or two. 

Hallo! here is the boat! just going to start. How 
fortunate! we must run for it though as it is. — Here is 
your ticket; you must keep it till we land, or you will have 
to pay twice. — Now they will shove off. See! there are 
some persons too late, but the next boat will sail soon. — 
What a great number of boats are plying about in all di- 
rections! it surprises me that we do not hear of more acci- 
dents from collision. 

24. 

Have you ever been on the river before? — Yes, I 
went yesterday down to Greenwich. — Did you see over the 
hospital? — Yes, I spent about an hour' there and was 
highly gratified with the internal arrangements. It is one 
of the many good things we owe to William IH. — Are 
there not some fine specimens of the old "Tar"? — There 
are, certainly; and' as we look on them we cannot but re- 
member hoAV much we and our country owe to them. — 
True ! the British sailor is a noble fellow ; nor is the sol- 
dier a less brave and worthy character. 

It is a proper approach to London, this noble river, 
crowded with vessels from every fport on the globe. — 
Yes! these forests of masts and yards speak for England^ 
commercial enterprise, and her naval greatness. Look at 
those endless docks, and wharfs, and warehouses, and 
there above — how strange the contrast! the relic of a very 
different era, the Great Tower of London. — The dome 
of St. Paul's is getting less in the distance; but I can still

21 

see the glistening of the "Golden Cross" which shines 
over city and river. 

25. 

I purpose taking a walk this afternoon; will you accom- 
pany me? — In what direction do you intend going? — 
I thought of going over to Naworth Castle*, a fine old 
baronial hall. — Very good; I shall very much enjoy 
looking over it with you. Pray whose residence is it? — 
The Earl of Carlisle lives there during the shooting season. 
It has been in the possession of his family time out of 
mind. 

Are you ready to start? — Nearly; I have only to get 
my hat and walking-stick; I won't detain you half a 
minute. — Take an umbrella with you ; it has every appear- 
ance of turning out a wet day. — Well thought of! I will 
follow your advice. — I shall take my waterproof with me 
instead. — Yes; but I have not one, I mean to buy one, 
they are less cumbersome; but I think they check perspira- 
tion too much. — Which road do we take? This to the 
right, or yon further on, to the left? — We keep straight 
on; until we come to the lodge. You see yon clump of 
trees, about a mile off? — Yes, I do. — The lodge is just 
beside them. — What a great many blackberries there are on 
all sides I — Yes; this neighbourhood is quite famous for 
them. They are the finest of wild fruit; don't you think 
so ? — I cannot say I am particularly partial to them. But 
then I don't care about fruit of any kind. — What is that 
noise? is it not the falling of water? — Yes; there is a 
little water-fall that turns a mill down in the valley to the 
left. It is a spot that is very much admired. A painter 
sold a picture from this landscape for a very handsome 
price, just the other week. — Ah! here is the spot. Yon 
are correct; it is assuredly very picturesque! 

*) In Cumberland, about 15 miles from Carlisle. 



22 

26. . 

Here we are at the lodge! What a very fine avenue! 
How beautifully the trees arch over the road. — Ay; but 
that is not all; do you not see the old grey tower peeping 
over the tops of the trees beyond? — Now I do! I did not 
at first discover it. — How velvet-like the turf is on each 
side! — Yes; and how sturdily the huge trees seem to 
guard the entrance of yon gate. — Part of the building 
appears to have been renewed. — Yes ; it was unfortunately 
damaged by fire about twelve years since. — "What a 
pity! — The old chapel was completely destroyed; and in 
fact all the buildings in this wing were more or less injured. 
Prior to that sad accident it was considered the finest spe- 
cimen of that style of architecture in the kingdom. — I 
can fully believe that such was the case. — But come, let 
us make haste, or the day will be gone before we have 
seen over it. Here is a large bell; shall I ring it? — Yes; 
no ! stop ! Here comes the woman who shews the castle. — 
We wish to see over the castle; will it be convenient for 
us to do so? — All right! Come along. 

27. 

Now that we have inspected the castle, we shall have 
time to go and see Lanercost Abbey. — Is it very far off? 
— No ! it is close to us , down in the glen. The way to it 
is through a very romantic ravine traversed by a noisy 
stream. — We have two hours of daylight before us yet; 
so let us go by all means. — Now keep your eyes about 
you, for every step will give you changing views of the 
most charming scenery. — Is that the Abbey which is just 
coming in sight yonder? — Yes that is it. Only part of it 
remains, and that part has been so far renewed that it can 
be used as a church. The rector's house is close to it in 
the valley. — Are there any fish in this river ? — Oh yes I 
it is a 'very good trout-stream. I have angled here for 
hours. Angling is a sport of which I am very fond. — 



23 

You must write your name and address in that visitors' 
book, and then follow me. — It is a beautiful place, though 
but the wreck of what it once was. These are a part of 
the old cloisters I presume. — Yes; but now they are used, 
as you see, for very different purposes to those for which 
they were intended. — I see that they are now degraded 
into cellars and there is positively a wheelbarrow in one 
corner and a heap of potatoes in another. 

28. 

Come; I am going down the river side to enjoy a stroll 
and a whiff of tobacco. Won't you go with me? — Well, 
I don't care if I do. I've nothing very particular to do just 
now, and a walk will do me no harm. — That's the thing ! 
Get your cigar, and come .along. — Shall we go by the 
turnpike-road or by the fields? — I vote for the fields, 
the road that turns off at the first stile and leads through 
the plantation, it is so pleasant and retired. And then one 
has not to walk through the village. — That is certainly 
an advantage; for the inhabitants are very rude. They 
stare at one as if one was an alligator, or a hippopotamus. 

What is your opinion on the late political crisis? — ■ 
Well, really, I don't give myself to the study of politics. 
— But you certainly read the papers, and are acquainted 
with the circumstances. — Well, I must acknowledge I 
have not perused the papers lately , my business has fully 
occupied all my attention. — I am glad to hear it. You 
see I have no fixed occupation and therefore am apt to 
forget that others have something else to do than to study 
politics. You approve of the system of taxation introduced, 
I suppose? — Oh yes; highly. It is calculated to secure 
what is wanted and to please the people. — And you ac- 
knowledge that that is a good thing? — Oh, certainly I do. 
Why should I hesitate to do so? 



24 

29. 

Was not that a drop of rain? Look I the clouds are 
gathering very rapidly; I am afraid we are in for a shower. 
" — That is very certain, for it is beginning to come down 
in earnest. Let us take shelter under this thick oak. It 
may pass off directly. — I don't know; I fear it looks as 
though it were likely to last; and see! that was a flash of 
lightning. — Hark! how it thunders; close above our heads 
too. It is not safe to stay under this tree. — We must run 
for it; there is a little inn about three hundred yards fur- 
ther on where we can rest till the storm is over. — Come 
along then. 

Well, here we are safe enough, but wet enough too. 

— It was unfortunate that we came out without any de- 
fence against the weather. — » Yes, but I had no expecta- 
tion it would prove so treacherous, for the sun was shining 
brilliantly when we leit home. — It is pouring down now 
with a vengeance; just come and look through the window; 
the road is positively flooded. — Ha! ha! there is a great 
sow with a litter of pigs scampering away as fast as she 
can go; she is thoroughly terrified with the thunder and 
lightning. — Why, the little animals are almost carried 
away with the water, they can hardly keep their legs. 

Here is a commercial traveller just coming. I suppose 
he means to stay here all night, and take the train from 
the neighbouring station in the morning. — It looks like 
it , for he is having all his luggage brought in. 

Waiter, bring me some supper. What have you got? 

— Well; I will have some cold beef and a pint of mulled 
port. — And I say, waiter, have you got any good cigars? 
Bring in the box. — Are these cheroots , or what ? 
Have you no Havanas? Bring me some, then. — Light the 
gas. — Waiter, some coals. The night is very chilly. — 
Bring me the paper. — I should prefer ^he "Times"! Have 
you "Punch"? — Could I trouble you to ring the bell? 
Thank you. — Waiter send "Boots" with slippers. — Un- 



25 

fasten ray straps. — Untie my boots. — Warm the slippers. 
— Call me at half past seven, No. 2.9. — Good night. 

30. 

Good bye, my friend! I hope you will have an agree- 
able journey. — Thanks to you, I shall do my best to 
make myself comfortable. — Cab, drive me to the Railway 
Station. — What is the fare ? I think that you will find that 
correct. — Good morning. — Porter! remove my lug- 
gage to the train for C. Where is the booking-office? — 
It is the second door down. — Thank you; I see the name 
over the door, — First class to W. ! — My change is not 
correct. You have given me two shillings too little. — 
That is right now. — Pray, Sir, is this seat occupied? — 
No, I think not. — Then I will sit down here. Now 
we're off! Are you pretty well acquainted with this line, 
Sir ? — Yes , Ma'am , I come by it twice every week on 
an average. — Indeed, the officials will begin to recognise 
your countenance. — Oh yes! they know me very well. 
I have a pass ticket which gives me the right to travel on 
this line for so much a year, so that I have not the trouble 
or expense of obtaining a fresh ticket each time. — That 
must be a very convenient arrangement. Do they require 
you to produce your ticket every time you ride? — Strictly 
I ought to do so, but the ticket- collectors know me so 
well that they only nod at me, and let me pass without 
shewing it. — Are you going far to-day? — Not on the 
railway. I shall get off at the next station but one , and 
then I shall have to ride a considerable distance by the 
mail-coach to my destination. I am going to be present at 
the marriage of a friend, but his house is so full of his re- 
lations who intend to witness the ceremony that I shall 
have to put up at the hotel. — What is the reason we are 
going so slowly? — A goods train is before us, and we 
should run into it if the driver did not use great caution 
for the fog is so intense that he cannot see far before him. 



26 

This is the station where I have to get out. -£- There is 
the coach waiting the arrival of the passengers by this 
train. 

31. 

Coachman, is the box-seat at liberty? — Yes, Sir, it 
is. — Then I will occupy it if you please. Can you tell 
me what town that is which lies on the side of the hill? — 
I am quite a stranger ; I really cannot give you any infor- 
mation respecting the neighbourhood. — Will you let me 
offer you a cigar? — Thanks; but I do not smoke. — 
Coachman, have you got a liicifer? Never mind; I will 
procure a light at the next road-side inn. 

The mist is gradually clearing away , and I hope we 
are going to have a very pleasant ride. — How much jollier 
it is to travel in this way than to be entombed in a close 
railway carriage. — Yes, we can now enjoy the scenery, 
and it certainly is not very exhilarating to be whisked along 
at the rate of about fifty miles an hour through deep 
cuttings or dark, echoing tunnels. — Besides, the screech 
of the engine whistle is so very deafening and harsh. — 
You have got a very good team to-day, coachman. '• — Yes 
Sir, I am very proud of my cattle and I always try to take 
great care of them. — You do quite right. I am passion- 
ately fond of horses and I cannot bear to see a valuable 
animal cruelly used or overworked. — That off-leader is 
a very handsome mare. — So she is, Sir, but this near- 
wheeler is the best and steadiest of the four. She always 
keeps well up to the collar and won't need a taste of the 
whip all the way. Perhaps you would like to take the 
reins for a mile or two, Sir. I see you have got your driv- 
ing gloves on, and you have a good eye for horses. — 
Thank you! I will very gladly do so, after a while, but 
here is a very steep hill, and I think we ought to get off 
and walk up it. What do you say gentlemen? — Agreed 
by all means, I shall be glad to stretch my legs a little, for 



27 

I begin to feel cramped with sitting still so long. — 
Pull up then , and we will lighten your load. — I see that 
you drive this horse with a kicking-strap. Is he restive? 

— He has a very queer temper, Sir; sometimes he will 
turn stupid without any provocation, and lash out very 
fiercely. 

32. 

If you gentlemen are going to walk, you had better 
choose the shortest cut, especially as it is also the plea- 
santest. — Is there a nearer road than the highway? — 
Yes! go through that turnstile and continue along the foot- 
path through that field covered with cowslips, and then 
across the pasture meadow beyond and you will come out 
on the high road again. — It will take off a corner a 
quarter of a mile in length and it affords some very pleas- 
ing rural views. — See they are hay-making in the field 
beyond. Let us join them for a minute or two, we shall 
have plenty of time since the coach has to go so far round. 

— You seem to have a good crop this year, farmer. — 
Yes, Sir, thank God, hay is likely to be plentiful and 
cheap. — Why, as you have so much to sell, I should 
have expected to hear you wish it might be a good price 
in the markets? — I shall need all the hay I can make for 
my own use, so I shall have none to dispose of. — How 
are your other harvests looking? — Very tidy, Sir, thank 
you. — Then we shall not have a dear loaf this coming 
winter? — No, Sir; I think flour will be lower than it 
has been for many a long year. — Good day, my man! — 
Good bye, Sir! — We must now walk briskly to be in 
time for the coach. — Oh I see it over the hedge there. — 
Thank you, coachman, for your sensible counsel. — We 
have been among the hay-cocks; how gloriously sweet they 
smell. — Coachman, I get down at the next town we come 
to. Do you stop at the Red Lion? — No, Sir, at the 



28 

Crown. — Then I must get a cab to the Red Lion, as I 
expect a friend to come to me there this evening. 

33. 

We stop here for a minute to change horses. Do you see 
the others ready for us two on one side of the road and two 
on the other? — Yes; now let us see how long they will 
be in harnessing them. — The whole thing is done in three 
minutes. — I remember in the old coaching days the men 
were so expert that they used to manage the whole con- 
cern in a minute and a half. — They were very exact in 
their time-keeping then, were they not? — Yes; the coach- 
man w r as fined half-a-crown for every minute that he was 
either before or behind his time at the end of his journey. 

— Well that was a decidedly excellent method for drilling 
him into punctuality. — Now guard; here we are at S.,« 
blow your horn; a good loud blast; awaken the people. 
Now we shall have half the dogs in the parish barking 
after us. — This is the Crown, Sir. Remember the coach- 
man, Sir. — Yes, here is eighteen pence for you and a 
shilling for the guard. — Get this gentleman's portmanteau 
out of the boot and call him a cab from the stand. — Stop; 
I will have a glass of brandy and water before I go on. — 
Now cabman drive me to the Red Lion. 

Waiter; has a gentleman been here to inquire for 
Mr. D.? — Yes, Sir, he is waiting in the commercial room. 

— Now, my good friend, I am glad to see you. I am very 
sorry I can't offer you a bed in my own house but you 
know the reason. — Oh yes; waiter take my luggage into 
my bed-room and let me know the number. — 14, Sir. — 
Come up stairs with me. 

34. 

What time must I be at the bride's house to-morrow 
morning. — About nine o'clock. — Whither do you pur- 
pose travelling on your wedding-tour? — We shall go down 



29 

! the Rhine, — I have lost the key of my portmanteau and can- 
not get out my clothes. — How very unfortunate! You are 
engaged to dine, are you not? — Yes; at an old friend's; 
and I would not willingly give up the engagement, for I must 
leave, the town after the wedding to-morrow in orjder to 
catch the night-train. So if I do not go to day I shall not 

I see him at all. — You must send for the smith and get 
the lock picked. — He won't be able to do that. It is one 
of Chubb's patents. — Then it must be broken open. — 
There is, I fear, no other resource; so here goes! — What 
a blow! You have smashed the lock to pieces. — Yes; I 
have certainly done more than I intended. — See ! you have 
fairly broken the fastening to shivers. — Never mind! I 
have secured what I wanted, a way into my box. — And 
look here! Here is your key lying on the dressing-table! 

— So it is! what a foolish fellow I am to overlook it lying 
in so prominent a place. It will cost you at least half a 
sovereign to get a new lock of the same sort put on in 
place of the old one. 

35. 

How is this, my boy? you should be at school. — The 
Master has given us a holiday to-day. — Why to-day? — 
It is the Queen's birthday. — How will you amuse your- 
self? — I think of going with my school-fellows to play 
at cricket. — Would you rather not have a ride on horse- 
back with me? — Oh yes, papa, I like riding very much 
better than cricket. — Run and tell John to saddle the 
black horse for me, and the little pony for yourself. — 
The horses are ready, papa. — I shall come immediately. 

— Is this the proper bridle? — Yes, the other is broken. 

— See that your saddle is fast. — Now, mount! Do not 
pull the bridle so much. Take care your pony does not 
stumble. — Shall I canter on and open the gate, papa? — 
Yes, if you please. — Oh ; what a pity! the gate is locked. 

— Then you must ride back to the house for the key. — 



30 

Perhaps we can leap over the hedge. — Well. I shall go 
first. — There! that was Avell done. Now for a gallop 
down the park. — Oh, this is delightful! How glorious 
the weather is. How the little birds seem to enjoy it. Does 
your horse go nicely? — Oh yes, very, it is very pleasant. 
— The pony goes so easily papa. — Yes ; it has been well 
trained. — Where shall we go? — I must go into B. I 
have to call upon a friend there. — How many miles is it 
to B.? — It is, I believe, about nine miles, if we take the 
shortest way. 

36. 

See! there is a waggon in front, and I think the driver 
is asleep. We must awake him. — Halloo, halloo! Your 
horses are going wrong. You'll have them in the hedge 
directly. — Eli . . . what? 0, ah! I was tired and the warm 
sun made me sleep. — You should take more care, my 
friend. You might get yourself into trouble. — 0, no fear 
of that! I have often done it before, and been none the 
worse for it. — Well, well, the grey goose will be caught 
at last. — - All right, master. — How large the blackbirds 
appear to be. — They sing very sweetly. — Have you, 
ever heard the nightingale, papa? — Oh yes! many times. 
Its note is very peculiar. — How I should like to hear it! 
Who is this coming towards us? — I think it is Mr. B., 
whom I wish to see. — Yes, it is he, papa. — How are 
you to-day, Mr. H.? — Well, I thank you, I was just com- 
ing to call on you. — We will ride back then together. — \ 
I wished to ask your advice. — I shall give it with pleasure 
if it will be of any use to you. — Ride on, Charles; I wish 
to converse with Mr. B. I am in a dilemma. — Bray ex- 
plain. — Fate seems to single me out. — Has fortune 
been unkind? — I have been unsuccessful in my specula- 
tions. — Again? you are certainly not a favorite of the 
blind goddess. — I have unluckily involved others. — 
Worse and worse! but enter into particulars, and you shall 



31 

have my advice to the best of my ability. — I felt sure you 
would give me your counsel. — You natter me; I am 
j always willing to serve a friend. 

37. 

Emily, did you bring the book from the library last 
night? — Yes, mamma. I gave you it last evening. — 
No, Emily, I do not recollect your doing so. — Then I will 
go and bring it; I most likely left it in my room. Here it 
is, mamma. — Thank you. — Have you read many of Sir 
Walter Scott's works? — I have read all his poems, and a 
great number of his prose productions. — I admire the 
latter very much. — There you are right, I think. What 
are you reading now, Emily? — I am busy with Macau- 
lay's "History of England". — I am glad to hear it. It is 
a noble book. — There is a ring at the door. — Mrs. B., 
I am delighted to see you, sit down. — Thank you. — 
Were you at church yesterday? — I was not out; I had a 
very sore throat, and I therefore judged it prudent to keep 
in-doors. — You acted wisely. Influenza is, I believe, 
very prevalent just now. — I am very liable to take colds. 
— You do not wrap yourself up sufficiently, when you 
go abroad. — There I think you are wrong, for I generally 
consider I take too much care of myself. 

38. 

George, draw down the blinds; the rays of the sun are 
very oppressive ; and besides they will take the colouring 
out of the curtains. — Mary, you must lift the carpets to- 
morrow morning. — Yes , ma'am. — We will breakfast in 
the small parlor , so do that first. — Very well, ma'am. — 
Eliza; bring the new stays you purchased yesterday, and 
let me examine the manufacture of them. Where did you 
procure them? — I bought them at J.'s in Regent Street. — 
You told me the price before; they appear to be very 
good. — I am sure they are not dear. I told you I should 



32 

make a good purchase. — Do not be too hasty; the ex- 
cellence of their quality will be more apparent when they 
have been proved by wearing for a week or two. 

Waiter! pay the cabman. Porter! take my trunk. Have 
you a room at liberty? I shall want to stay a few days. 
Waiter , have breakfast ready in half an hour. I will take 
some ham and eggs. I will have a little broiled salmon. — 
Pardon my troubling you, Sir; could you lend me your 
Railway Guide? — I would do so with pleasure, but a 
friend borrowed it just now. — I thank you all the same; 
the waiter will no doubt procure me one. — Shall I ring 
the bell? — Thank you. — Waiter, let me have Brad- 
shaw's Guide. 

Excuse me, Sir; I think I have had the pleasure of 
meeting you elsewhere. — I really cannot just now call it 
to mind; I dare say, however you are correct, for I travel 
a good deal. — I remember now distinctly! It was at Paris, 
during the Exhibition. — Aye! that was it, no doubt. — 
Well, Sir, and what did you think of the Exhibition? — 
Think? It was some days before I could resume the power 
of thought! — Were your astonishment and admiration so 
great? — Sir! I was enraptured — transported — almost ! 
beside myself with delight. — How enthusiastic you are! 

39. 
Ah Sir, you are clearly a foreigner. We English 
people are so cold and phlegmatic that it takes a very 
great deal to rouse us up in that way. I am afraid we are I 
almost too cynical and lethargic. — Ah, it is all very well 
for you to say so ; but if I were to hint as much you would 
very soon try to bring about another decision. You never 
allow anybody else to speak ill of you, and then to make 
up for it you constantly grumble at yourselves. — Well; 
I do believe there is a great deal of truth in that. — And 
the prime of the joke is that while you try your very best 
to make yourselves seem disagreeable; nobody will believe 



33 

you, for "we who are thoroughly acquainted with you, know 
you to be as good-natured and long-suffering, as you are 

as you are — big! — Ha! haf a very apposite conclii- 

I sion. — And withal as proud as you are powerful. — Well 

every nation is proud , and has a proper right to be proud 

| of something in its character and history; but you are a 

lenient critic of our peculiarities. — Your insular position 

has been a great advantage to you in many respects , but 

a misfortune in others. — It has been the cause of our 

being much misunderstood and misrepresented. — That is 

very true, and I saw, the other day, a book which has been 

) printed on the continent within the last twenty years , and 

j by a very clever man, too, which actually repeats the old 

i absurdities about Englishmen selling their wives and eating 

their race-horses, etc. — Such stupid falsehoods are very 

culpable, and I shall take every opportunity on my return 

home to spread a very different report about you all. 

40. 

You are walking too fast for me, Charles. — See! there 
are the ruins left by the great fire which broke out here 
last week. — What a sad spectacle! Were any lives lost? 
— Yes, a young mother perished in a frantic attempt to 
save her child ; after being rescued by one of the firemen, 
she unexpectedly rushed along one of the flaming beams, 
aud was never seen again. — How pitiful! — The fire broke 
out first in some timber stores by the water's edge, — but 
here we are at the street-end. The house is No. 29; is it 
not? — Yes, I think it is near the other end. Come on, 
we must not make a very long stay, it is rather late. 

Here we are; we have not been long in coming. — 
This is the house, I think. — I will look at my card; yes, 
that is it. — Shall I knock? ■ — Yes, do so. — We have 
come to inquire about lodgings, a friend directed us to 
your house. — I shall be very happy, I'm sure, to accom- 
modate you. — The sitting-room is on the ground floor, 
The English Echo. 3 






34 

is it not? — You can have one on any floor you prefer; 
all are at liberty. — Well, we will look over and select. 
Come! 

41. 

Have you any engagement for to-night, Harry? — I 
believe not. Let me think. This is Thursday, is it not? 

— Yes; and if you are at liberty I want a companion for 
the Olympic. — I will go with you. What do they pro- 
duce to-night? — "Still Waters run deep" and an extra- 
vaganza. — Then, if you'll call at my chambers in the ' 
Temple, on your way from the city, we can go on together. 
I'll be waiting for you at seven. — Good-bye for the 
present. 

Now then , are you ready ? — Quite ; and I've got a 
couple of seats engaged. I sent my clerk this morning to 
the box-office just after you left me. — Have you been 
to the Princess's lately? — Yes; I saw the Winter's Tale 
the other night. — I am to go next Monday. — We have 
a stage-box for our family. Can you drop in on us? — 
I '11 try to do so. — I understand that Wigan is very great 
in the piece we are to see to-night. — Yes, my friend Lin- 
coln speaks very highly of the whole concern. — There 
seems to be a crowd here to-night, what is the matter? — 
I '11 ask the policeman. I say, what is all the disturbance 
about? — Prince Albert and the Princess Royal are here, 
Sir, with the Prince of Prussia. — Oh we shall be in luck, 
then, for our seats are opposite the royal box. 

42. 

Box-keeper, shew us to 14 and 15. — Those seats are 
already engaged. — Yes I know they are, we have en- 
gaged them. — Two other gentlemen are now sitting there. 

— Then they must remove, for we have taken those 
places. See, here are the tickets for them. — They refuse 
to relinquish them, Sir. — Then I shall call for the' 






35 

policeman to settle the matter. — I have a prior claim and 
I insist on my right. 

Policeman, I have pre-engaged 14 and 15 and some 
persons who are there by mistake decline to allow us to 
have them. — I will soon set it right, Sir. — The gentle- 
men have been sent here by accident, and they have now 
gone to their own seats. They desire me also to apologise 
for their intrusion. They ought to have been put into 24 and 
25. — I was determined to havo this place because it is 
the best in the house for a good view of the royal box. — 
This little squabble has rather delayed us and the curtain 
has just risen. — That scene is very well got up. I think 
they pay great attention to the way things are put on the 
stage here. — Yes, and it is wise of them to do so. Good 
acting may often be partially spoilt by tawdry decorations 
and careless arrangements. — The properties of a really 
good theatre must be very costly. — I believe they are so, 
but let us be silent and watch the play. 

How long have you been in London? — Only about 
a month. — You had studied the language before , I pre- 
sume ? — I had a little. — You speak it remarkably well. 
Have you visited many places in London? — Oh yes. I 
have been to the most interesting ones. — What do you 
think of the new Houses of Parliament? — They are very 
fine buildings; but I have not seen inside them yet. — That 
is a pity: they are magnificent apartments. — I have been 
all over the Abbey, close at hand. — Westminster? I hope 
you were pleased ? — Very much indeed. 

43. 

Can you direct me to Russell Square? — Yes, Sir, but 
you are still a long way from it. You must continue for a 
quarter of a mile in a straight line , and then turn to the 
left and inquire again. By-the-bye, let me recommend you 
always to ask a policeman your way. They can tell you 
correctly because they are well acquainted with the neign- 

3* 



36 

bourhood, and they are sure not to misdirect you, which 
some people might be ill-natured enough to do. — Thank 
you, Sir, I am very much obliged to you for your infor- 
mation , for I am a stranger , and have very little acquain- 
tance with London. — Indeed, then, Sir, I should advise 
you not to try to find Russell Square yourself, for the way 
is both long and intricate. You had better take a cab, and 
drive to your destination. — I will act upon your advice. 
How shall I obtain a cab ? — There is a stand at the end 
of this street, but I see a Hansom coming this way now, 
and I think it is empty. Halloo, cab, are you disengaged? 
— Yes, Sir. — Drive this gentleman to Russell Square; 
good morning, Sir. — Good morning. I apologise for the 
trouble I have caused you, and thank you for your cour- 
tesy. 

This is Russell Square. What [number do you want, 
Sir? — No. 45, Mr. Gordon's. — You will see his name 
on the door, I believe. — What is your fare? — Eighteen 
pence. 

Is Mr. Gordon within? — Yes Sir, what name shall I 
announce? — Give him that card, if you please. — Will 
you be good enough to take a seat, Sir, my master will be 
down in a minute or two. 

Why, my dear old friend, who ever thought of seeing 
you in England. I am rejoiced to shake hands with you 
once more. When did you arrive? How are your family? 
Had you a pleasant passage? Where can I send for your 
luggage? — Stop! stop! I find you are as impetuous as 
ever. If I don't interrupt you, you will ask me more 
questions in five minutes than I can answer properly in a 
week. — You must pardon me, but I am so pleased to see 
you again. Step up-stairs , I must shew you my wife and 
children. — Ah, I remember you have married since I saw 
you. — It is almost eight years since we were fellow-stu- 
dents at Bonn. 



37 



44. 



Here is my wife. My dear, this is my old friend from 
Germany of whom I have so often spoken to you. — I am 
very glad to see you, Sir; George has often recounted to 
me the adventures of your younger days. — I am sure I 
congratulate him upon having had the good fortune to select 
so excellent a wife. And are all these your children? — 
Yes Sir, this little boy is four years old; his name is Char- 
les Adolph. My husband would have him christened by 
your name, as a remembrance of the many happy hours 
he had spent with you at Bonn. — My little namesake 
come hither; I am rejoiced to make your acquaintance. 
We will learn to know each other better. I will tell you 
long and pretty stories about Germany, and I will tell you 
what a sad young man your papa was before you knew 
him. — Ah now, Adolph, you must not turn traitor, or I 
will retaliate upon you, and tell tales about you also. — 
You want me then to form a compact of silence with you, 
but I will not be tempted. I shall tell Mrs. Gordon all your 
escapades and how fascinating you were formerly with my 
country-women. — Oh, Sir, I shall believe all that, even 
before you relate it, because I remember when he was first 
introduced to me. — Bravo! my dear; but I am wonder- 
fully sober now. Marriage has quite altered me, so I can 
defy you to ruin my character, Adolph. — Well , we shall 
see, I mean to give myself plenty of time, at any rate, for 
I shall stay in England some months. — That is right. 
Make my house your home while you remain. You cannot 
outstay your welcome. — I am sure I shall always be 
glad to see any friend of my husband's and especially so 
old a friend as yourself. — Thank you. You are very 
kind, but I do not wish to be quite so burdensome to you 
as that. — Don't mention it. What hotel are you staying 
at now? — At Morley's in Trafalgar Square. — That will 
do. Charlotte, ring the bell! — Yes, papa. — John, go 



38 

to Trafalgar Square and fetch Mr. Adolph Killer's boxes; 
pay bis bill, and be as quick back as you can. Take this 
card with you as your authority for claiming the property. 
Now, my dear friend, we will have some dinner. We 
were just about to sit down when you came in, and we 
will excuse your dressing. — Thank you, but I should 
like to wash my hands before dining. Certainly; the 
maid shall shew you to your room, and I will see that 
you have everything you require. 

45. 

Sarah, shew Mr. Hiller to the best bed room. — Yes, 
Sir. — Will you please to follow her, Adolph? 

Here, my friend, is a towel for you. We have just 
finished house-cleaning, and things are rather in disorder, 
for we had no expectation that we were going to be 
favoured with the company of so distinguished a guest. — 
You must not be sarcastic. — No; I am very sincere. Shall 
I lend you some shaving tackle? Here is a strop, and ra- 
zors and a shaving brush. I will get you a comb and a 
pair of hair-brushes and there is a nail-brush on the wash- 
hand-stand. ■ — ■ That is a splendid looking-glass. — Yes, 
it is also a very old one. The frame is made of Irish bog- 
oak, and is a great curiosity. It belonged to my father, 
and has been a kind of heir-loom in our family for many 
generations. — You must prize it very much. It is beauti- 
fully carved. — What do you think of this wardrobe? — 
It is very excellent indeed. The insertion of the mirror in 
the panel has a very good effect. — There is a dressing- 
case on that chest of drawers which contains pomatum. — 
Thank you, I never use anything of that kind for my hair; 
I think that hair-washes and all those preparations have an 
unwholesome effect on the head. — That is according to 
circumstances; I believe I should become quite bald if I 
did not employ something of the kind occasionally. — 
You have provided for me everything that I can want ex- 



39 

cept soap. — Oh that is very forgetful , but you will find 
some in that drawer; lift up the table-cloth and you will 
see the knob. — I see you have in this drawer quite a col- 
lection of knick-knacks for a dressing-room. There is a 
pair of nail-nippers and scents of several kinds. I think I 
am now ready to join your family at dinner. — It is not 
worth your while to be very particular about your appear- 
ance at present. In a day or two my wife's sister is coming 
to visit us, and as she is both pretty and agreeable we will 
then excuse a little dandyism on your part. — Oh, I never 
should succeed in trying to be a beau. — Well, for the 
present, at any rate, you must accommodate yourself to 
circumstances; but before we go down stairs come into this 
bed-room and see how you like it. — It is very nice and 
cosy. I prefer those old-fashioned four-post bedsteads 
very much. A French bedstead I always fancy to be very 
cold. 

46. 

Now, I mean you to live in my house as long as you 
can possibly stay in this country. This, therefore, will be 
your domain. In these two rooms you will be "Monarch 
of all you survey." I will give you this key. It belongs 
to that cabinet and you can keep all your secrets there safe 
from the vulgar gaze. — You are just the same warm- 
hearted fellow that you ever were, but I will not consent 
to inflict myself on you in this way. — If you do not agree 
to what I propose I shall be offended with you. I cannot 
forget the visit I paid to your house ten years since , and 
how happy you made me then. It is my turn now , and I 
will try to pay you back with compound interest for the 
long arrear of kindness outstanding between us. — Well, 
1 shall be forced to insist on your bringing your wife over 
to Leipzig some time soon, and giving me my revenge. — 
Why, you are but a bachelor, and could hardly manage to 
find room for us, I should think, but we will talk over that. 



40 

la the mean time we must try to chain you here. I will 
have that closet cleared and these drawers emptied for you 
to stow away your things ; and now come with me to the 
parlour once more. 

Now, my dear, we are ready for dinner. Mr. Hiller, 
will you give your arm to my wife, and I will lead my 
little daughter Charlotte into the dining-room. — Papa, you 
are so tall, I cannot walk arm in arm with you. — Well 
then, my dear, take my hand. Charles, my boy, bring your 
little sister Emily with you. Now the procession is formed. 
March! 

Mr. Hiller , take this seat by my wife and I will mono- 
polise Charlotte. Can you be satisfied with me, my little 
one? — Yes papa, I always like to be with you. — Charles, 
say grace. Now let us see what kind of a housekeeper 
my wife is. — Rather say what kind of a cook I have, 
for a good cook will often conceal a bad provider. — But 
if you were not a good housekeeper, you would not have 
found a good cook. — Will you take some ox-tail soup? 
Charles, you use your napkin very clumsily, lay it neatly 
across your knees, and do not make such a. noise when 
you are drinking; it is very vulgar. 

47. 

A little bread, if you please. — Will you be good enough 
to pass me the salt? I do not think this soup is sufficiently 
seasoned. — My husband is so very fond of salt and of 
sugar. I tell him sometimes that if he eats so much sugar 
he will get shockingly stout. — Do not terrify me in that 
way; I should be horrified if I thought I was likely to be a 
fat man. — I remember when you were in Germany you 
were very slim and agile. Our friends gave you the nick- 
name of the active Englishman. — I do not think I could 
run or leap as I used to do then. I have not tried anything 
in that way since I became sedate so many years ago. — 
Why, then, we must now call you the lazy Englishman. — 



41 

Oh dear! that is worse than ever; I hate to be thought 
slow and torpid. — May I have the pleasure, Madam, of 
assisting you to some wine? — Thank you, Sir, that is 
sherry, if you will allow me I will trouble you for some of 
the Bucellas. It is in the other decanter. — Adolph, you 
and I must drink a bumper with each other in memory of 
by-gone times. — Your very good health, my old friend! — 
And yours, and that of your wife and family ! — Will you 
let me send you some of this grouse or would you prefer 
some venison? — Thank you, I will wait for a piece of 
your old English roastbeef, of which I have heard so much. 

— I am sorry that we have none to-day. But there is a, 
very nice shoulder of mutton. — I will ask you for some of 
that macaroni pudding. — Charlotte, you are drinking with 
your mouth full, that is very unlady-like indeed. — John, 
remove these things and bring us the dessert and wine. — 
Try some port, Adolph; I think you will approve of it; or 
would you prefer claret? — You always had the reputa- 
tion of being a good judge of wines, so I will accept your 
recommendation. — Emily, here are your walnuts; I will 
break them open for you. — Charles! Charles! you are 
cracking those nuts with your teeth, you should use the 
nut-crackers. — I have not got any, mamma. — There is 
a pair just under the edge of your plate , what a careless 
little fellow you are. — Now, my children, go with your 
mamma. — May this little gentleman, Charley, stay with 
us this once. — Yes, if he will behave himself very well. 

— We will rejoin you, my dear, directly. — Now Adolph, 
draw your chair nearer the fire and fill your glass again. — 
These pears are very large and fine. Do you grow them 
yourself? — No,. I have no garden here of any size. My 
wife got them in Covent Garden Market. — Really I must 
felicitate you upon having so beautiful and amiable a wife. 
I am delighted with her. — You will like her better the 
more you know of her. Her beauty is her least recommen- 
dation. She is my greatest treasure. 



42 



48. 



There is the postman approaching the house; and now 
I hear his short, sharp, imperious double-knock. — Two 
letters for me, one for each of you. — Mine contains in- 
formation which you will be glad to receive, I think. — 
Indeed, my dear, and pray what may that be? I don't 
mind confessing that I can do with a spice of good news, by 
way of seasoning to the bad news contained in my letters. My 
best hunter has died at the farm, and a man who owes me 
^600 has got into the Gazette. — Well then, I must try to 
cheer you by saying that Lucy will be here to-night. — 
Indeed, that is glorious! Now, my dear Adolph, furbish up 
your whiskers y and buy an extra bottle of Macassar hair- 
oil. — Who, then, is this Lucy? — My wife's sister, Miss 
Neville. A perfect paragon, I do assure you. Rich, beauti- 
ful, amiable, clever, and all that sort of thing. In fact, she 
is two pages taken out of every novel, for she sits to be 
described by romancists, like some ladies do as models for 
painters and statuaries. — Really , Charles , your raillery 
and jokes are too bad for anything. I won't allow you to 
use my poor Lucy in such a way behind her back. You 
ought not to be so wild. Mr. Adolph , he once gave just 
that kind of description of me to a friend of his before we 
were married. — But perhaps, Madam, in that case, at any 
rate, he was sincere. — To be sure I was, and am now; 
and I give you fair warning, Adolph, if you don't fall 
desperately in love with Lucy directly you see her, I shall 
despise you for want of taste. Indeed, I shall consider it a 
personal insult. — And pray, Sir Madcap, how will you 
make that out? — Thus. Miss Neville is, as you have 
heard , precisely what my wife was when we were married. 
If, therefore, you are not struck with the young lady, I shall 
conceive you would not have approved my choice, and 1 
shall of course have no remedy but to ask you to name a 
secoDd and to select your weapons. — I have, then, before 



43 

me a choice of evils , Marriage or Slaughter. Pray, where 
does Miss Neville reside? — In Edinburgh, at present. She 
is an orphan, and spends most of her time with us, but has 
been lately paying a protracted visit to an aunt. I see this 
letter was written yesterday afternoon, and she will leave 
by this morning's mail, so as to arrive in town to-night. 

49. 

Your postal arrangements are very good. — Yes! and 
very cheap. By affixing a penny postage-stamp to a letter 
under half an ounce in weight, we can have it delivered, 
without any other charge, in any part of Great Britain and 
Ireland. — So small a sum must be far from remunerating 
the managers of the Post-Office. — On the contrary, so 
large is the number of letters annually despatched, that 
this is a profitable source of revenue. It is now under the 
management of the Government, but it has, at different 
times, been farmed by private individuals. — I see your 
postman wears a red uniform. Are they all clothed in the 
same way? — In London they are, and in the principal 
provincial towns. The practice will, I expect, gradually 
become universal. — How many deliveries of letters are 
there in the day? ■ — In what is called the London district 
there are twelve, and in the surrounding district, included 
in a twelve-mile circle , there are six deliveries per diem. 
— Your General Post Office is a very large place. — It 
is : but it is not found sufficiently extensive for the immense 
amount of business transacted there. They are about to 
enlarge it considerably. The Money Order Department 
has long been transferred to another extensive building in 
its immediate vicinity. — There are also, I suppose, many 
minor receiving houses in various parts of the city? — 
Yes, and there are also a number of hollow cast-iron 
pillars, in some of the principal streets, which are provided 
for a similar purpose. In addition to this, the city and its 
environs are divided into a number of districts, and in the 



44 

centre of each there is a branch post-office for the general 
regulation of the district in which it is placed. 

50. 

You do not seem very well to-day. — No , I have a 
slight head-ache. — We will, if you like, take a ride out 
into the country, perhaps the fresh air will revive you. — 
Where do you propose to go? — What do you say to a 
trip to the Crystal Palace, at Sydenham? — I shall be de- 
lighted to accompany you. — We can spend a few hours 
there, and then get back in time to meet Miss Neville at ' 
the King's Cross Station. — Maria, reach me the clothes- 
brush out of the side-board drawer. There are one or 
two splashes of dirt on your father's coat-tail. — There is 
a hat-reviver in the next drawer, which I will trouble you 
to hand to me at the same time. 

There is a person down stairs who wishes to see you, 
Sir. His name is F. — Oh, it is my tailor. I directed him 
to call this morning. Shew him up stairs. He has brought 
some patterns of cloth with regard to which I should like 
your judgment, Adolph, and also my wife's taste. Come in, 
Mr. F. I want several articles of wearing apparel. Firstly, 
a dress suit. I can afford to leave the choice of materials, 
in that respect, to yourself. — Thank you, Sir, I am oolfged 
for your confidence. I will do the best I can lor you. — 
I want a pair of fancy doe-skin trowsers for every-day 
wear. — Allow me to submit these patterns of cloth to 
you. — This seems to be a very nice selection. — It com- 
prises all the latest fashions. — I like something of this 
colour, but I think the pattern is rather vulgar. — I think 
this would suit you, my dear. — No! It would so soon 
soil. — What will be the price of this O'xford mixture? — 
22 shillings, Sir. — Well, that will do. — By-the-by, I 
want a new overcoat. — I have some specimens of beaver- 
cloth here, Sir, that will, I think, suit you admirably. — 
What shall you charge for a great coat of this material ? — 



45 

! About £3. 10s. — I want a tunic for Charlie; I think that 
light-coloured cloth would suit him. — He is so reck- 
j less that I think he would soon dirty so delicate a fabric 
I as that. — Will it wash? — Oh yes, Sir, the colours are 
quite fast. — You do not need my measure, I think ? — No, 
; Sir, I have it already, but I should like to measure Master 
! Charles. — I will send for him. — As to my coat; remem- 
| ber to make me a ticket pocket, and an inside breast 
j pocket; and put a velvet collar on. Line the watch pocket 
| in the waistcoat with wash leather; give me plenty of 
i breadth across the chest; and let me have the whole lot 
I home as soon as you can. Now Adolph , we'll march. I 
; shall leave Mrs. G. to arrange everything else with regard 
■ to Charlie's dress. 

51. 

We shall not have to walk more than a few yards be- 
fore we meet an omnibus, which will take us to the station. 
Here is one, which I believe goes in our direction. Con- 
ductor, have you two places at liberty inside? — No, Sir, 
all full inside. — Never mind, we'll ride on the roof. Do 
you object, Adolph? — Certainly not, it is a fine day, and 
I should prefer riding outside to being cooped up in such 
weather as this. — Jump up by the driver, then. See, he 
is holding out a strap. Lay hold of it and you will mount 
more easily. — That is a very good horse on the near 
side. — Some of the omnibus horses are very excellent 
cattle; and the drivers are often very careful and intelli- 
gent men. — There are a great number of these omnibuses 
in the streets. — Yes, they ply in all directions, and are 
a very great convenience. — What will be the fare which 
we shall have to pay? — Four pence, but we might have 
ridden much farther for the same money. 

This is London Bridge I suppose. — Yes, it is a good 
structure. The old London Bridge was much inferior in 
every way. It was lined on both sides with houses. — 



46 

What is that column? — The Monument. It was erected 
as a memorial of the Great Fire of London, which broke 
out within a short distance of the spot where it stands. — \_ 
That was a very terrible destruction, was it not? — An - 
immense amount of property was consumed, and much 
distress was temporarily occasioned by it; but the result 
was beneficial. Previously to that time, many of the houses 
were built of wood, and the streets were inconveniently 
narrow and ill-arranged. Regulations were then made, that 
the partition walls between the houses should be of such 
a character as to be nearly fire-proof; so that now when 
a house is entirely gutted, very frequently the neighbouring 
buildings do not materially suffer. — Then, good arose out 
of the evil after all. — True; we stop here and take our 
tickets for Sydenham. — Do those tickets include our en- 
trance fee into the Palace? — They do ; last year I had 
a season ticket, which admitted me at all times , but it ex- 
pired a week ago, and I have neglected to renew it. 

I am very much pleased with your railways in England. 
— In some respects they are superior to those on the Con- 
tinent, but in others you have the advantage of us. Our 
third-class carriages are very comfortless ; in fact, they are 
mere boxes; on some of the railways they are quite open 
and have not even seats for the passengers. — They are 
only like sheep-pens , I see ; but these first-class carriages 
are very comfortable indeed. — You are, however, com- 
pelled to pay for your accommodation at a high price, 
sometimes. — ■ What a discordant shriek the engine gives 
just before the train moves. I should think it would be 
quite as well to substitute some other signal for that 
screaming whistle: the blowing of a horn, for instance. 

52. 

Now that we have arrived at the Terminus, tell me 
what are the principal attractions of the place we have 
come to see? — There are beautiful grounds, fine scenery, 



i 



47 

'! a wonderful building, and a varied collection of objects of 
| interest. But use your eyes and tell me what you think of 
j this view. — It is indeed very charming. — Turn round. 
i — That is the Crystal Palace. Astonishing ! How immense, 
| and yet how airy! It seems to spring, like a fairy structure, 
! from the earth. It is the most magnificent building I ever 
1 beheld. 

These are models of various extinct animals , the size 
| of life. When that iguanodon was nearly completed, twelve 
gentlemen , who were connected with the undertaking, 
dined in the body. — I see the ground is so managed as 
to give a representation of the geological strata; and 
whither does, that subterranean passage lead? — It is an 
artificial cave, representing the interior of an English lead- 
mine. — Let us now enter the building. — What magni- 
ficent terraces! I suppose there are waterworks here. — 
Yes , they are said to be the most excellent in the world. 
The effect when they are all in full play is very superb. — 
I should imagine so. There is also quite a profusion of 
statuary. — Inside the Palace we shall see some hundreds 
of cases of the best statues in the world. — This is the 
department assigned to machinery. Do I not hear the 
sound of music? — Yes, there is a band in attendance 
every day, and it is just about the time that they begin to 
play. We will hasten to the concert-room. — They per- 
form very well. — They do so; the conductor is, I believe, 
one of your countrymen. 

This is the Egyptian Court; you will recognise many 
of these scenes as reproductions of the most famous anti- 
quities of Egypt. — This appears to be a Roman dwell- 
ing. — It is called the Pompeian house, and is copied 
with great care from various models found at Pompeii and 
elsewhere. — There is a very exquisite screen. I see that 
the figures are statues of your kings and queens. — They 
are ; let us now walk down the nave, till we come to the 
centre transept, and gain a general view of the interior. — 



48 

It is a most remarkable place; the design and the effect are 
alike unique. — I am glad you are pleased with it. — I 
think it is perfect. The colouring of the decorations is so 
well harmonized , and the introduction of the exotic plants 
and shrubs adds greatly to the beauty of the whole. — 
There is much more here than we can pretend to see in 
such a rapid visit as ours, but we can come again at some 
future period. 

I should like to ascend to the galleries, and get a bird's 
eye view of the place. — Come then , we can go as high 
as that third gallery. — There are certainly plenty of steps 
to mount. I declare that I am quite tired with my walk. 
— Courage, my friend, a little higher, and we shall have 
reached the summit. Now, what do you think of it? — It 
is like a vision of enchantment! The sight is an ample 
reward for the labour of acquiring it. — We will now 
descend and run through the Picture gallery, but first 
notice the length of the building; you have a clear uninter- 
rupted sight of it here, and these circular girders form a 
kind of telescope. — We must go down this stair case. 
What are these huge figures ? — They are copied from the 
sculpture lately discovered at Nineveh. This is the Assy- 
rian Court. — I observe several aviaries here , and this is, 
I think, an aquarium. Really the directors appear to have 
collected all manner of things. They have exercised very 
laudable ingenuity and diligence. This is the w r ay to the 
Paintings. After we have inspected them we will have a 
little refreshment and then return home. — I must trouble 
you for that stick, Sir. — Adolph, leave your walking- 
cane with this person, he will give you a ticket which will 
entitle you to receive it when you come out again. Put 
that check into your pocket; the number inscribed on it 
will identify your property.

53. 

Tell John to get the carriage ready in half an hour. 
j Adolph and 1 will go to the station, to meet Lucy. In the 
I mean time, we will step into the billiard room, and amuse 
ourselves with knocking the balls about for a short time. 

I remember, you used to be a very skilful player, when 

we were in Germany. — Yes, but I am now out of practice, 

and 1 am much less successful than I was formerly. — 

J "Which ball have you? — The white. — Very good, then I 

j will take the spot. — Play on, then, while I light this cigar. 

I You have a good table and a large assortment of cues. I 

I! have found one which suits me exactly. — Very well 

' played. I shall not make much out of that. Help yourself 

i to a cigar, you will find my case on the mantel-piece. — 

That is a good stroke, it does not give you anything, but 

you have lodged my ball so close to the side that I cannot 

possibly get at it to any advantage. — Now I think I ought 

to go ahead. There is a good cannon, open for me. — 

Yes, and you have made it very dexterously. I will mark 

for you; go on again. Another cannon and now you will 

pocket the red ball. — That will end me for this time; I 

cannot get any more. — Here, Charlie, you can score for 

us. I have made a red hazard. — If you take care, you 

can pocket both balls this time. Very cleverly done. — 

Ring the bell, Charlie, and tell Mary to bring in some wine. 

Mark three more for Adolph. How does the game stand ? 

— You are twenty-three, papa, and Mr. Hiller is seven- 
teen. — Ha! there is a miss, score that on for me, Charlie. 
You had better take a glass of port, to steady your hand. 

— Oh, you cunning man! you want me to make my hand 
shaky with drinking, that you may win the more easily. — 
Stop, stop, Charlie! if you have any wine you will perhaps 
be forgetting your arithmetic and score incorrectly in con- 
sequence. Now, John, what is the matter? — The carriage 

| is ready, Sir. — Very good, we will come. — I must defer 

| The English Kcho. 4

I 



50 

till some other time the pleasure of beating you. — I will 
remember to give you the chance. You may go with us, 
Charlie. I shall want you. 

Is the express up-train in yet? — No Sir, but it 
Avill be here directly. It has stopped at the ticket-platform. 
That is the bell. The train is now coming in. — Oh, see 
papa, there is Aunt Lucy. — Now, Lucy, how do you do? 
Where are your boxes? — In the luggage-van at the end 
of the train. — Come with me, then, to own them. — That 
trunk is mine and so is that box with a wrapper. Oh dear, 
I have left a band-box in the carriage. — Run and get it, 
Charlie. — Porter , bring out those two boxes. Are these 
all, Lucy? — No, there is a hamper of game. That is the 
one. — We will have these put into a cab, and Charles 
6hall ride with them, and we will go home in the carriage. 
Let us see them safely stowed away under Charles's pro- 
tection. By-the-bye, allow me to introduce to you an old 
friend of mine, who is staying at our house. Miss Neville, 
Mr. Hiller. Now, Charlie, away with you, and take care 
you do not lose any of the packages on the road. Adolph, 
have the kindness to hand Miss Neville to the carriage. I 
will follow you in a moment , when I have seen the cab 
fairly off. 

Now, John, make the best of your way home. I think 
you are looking better for your trip into the country, Lucy. 

— I am very well indeed, thank you ; but I feel very tired 
and dizzy with such a long ride in that rocking railway- 
carriage. We came very rapidly, but I began to think we 
never should get to London, it is such a very great distance. jj 

— I can remember when it used to take us three or four 
days to go as far; and we thought that was a miracle of 
speed in the old coaching days. — I am charged with 
many kind messages to you and my sister. — Thank you, 
I hope you left all our Scotch friends happy and healthy. 

— Perfectly so. Here we are. I see the cab has jus 
arrived, and there is my dear sister looking out of the par- 



51 

!| lour window for me; and my little favourite niece by her 
I side , throwing kisses to me. 

| 

Good morning. I hope you have slept well, and quite 
recovered from the fatigue of your long journey yester- 
day? — Thank you, Sir, I am quite fresh again now; but 
I fell asleep with the buzzing and rattling sound of the 
train in my ears. — Have you been ruralizing long? — 
About three months. — You were in the fields at harvest 
time then? — Oh yes, and very much I enjoyed it, I can 
assure you. — Did you go gleaning? — To be sure. I was 
out in the fields all day, and became so terribly sun-burnt, 
I grew quite brown. — I can perceive that you are fond of 

! the country. — Very much so ; I have always been strongly 
attached to rustic life. — During the latter part of your 
absence from town, you have not had much amusement; I 
should imagine the country is very dull in winter. — Yes, 
but I have spent most of my time lately in Edinburgh. I 
mean to make up for it though , for I have an outstanding- 
invitation into Leicestershire, of which I mean to avail my- 
self in a few days. — Mr. Gordon has promised to take 
me down there, in order to see some hunting. — Oh, how 
pleasant! I am so fond of hunting. We'll all go together, 
and I challenge you, beforehand, to a race for the brush. 
— Agreed. It is accepted. 

Hallo 1 what are you two shaking hands so warmly 
about? You are getting on rather rapidly, I think. Come 
along, and take your breakfast. Lucy, come and sit by me, 
I'll defend you against that wily foreigner. 

Adolph, try one of these eggs. — Thank you, I shall 
confine myself to the tongue. — I should like my coffee a 
little sweeter if you please. — Charles, have you finished 
your breakfast? — Yes, mamma. — Then reach the "Times" 
from the other table, and see. whether there is anything in 

j it to interest your father. — I fancy, Charles will not be a 

4* 



52 

very good judge of what will be most entertaining to mc. 
Our tastes, with respect to newspaper intelligence, are very 
different. Charles is fond of the horrible murders and the j 
queer advertisements, I think. — Oh, I can make a very 
good choice for you, father. Let me see. I will look at the f 
city article, and tell you the state of the money market. : 
"Consols closed at 4 00 1 / 2 ." I know you always want to j 
know about that, though I cannot guess what it means. — 
The word Consol is an abridgment for Consolidated Stocks ; \ 
but I will give you a lesson on Political Economy and 
monetary matters some day. Read me the Parliamentary j 
summary. You will find it in the middle of the Paper, just j 
before the leaders : but first let us know what is the latest 
foreign intelligence, and then tell us what theatrical novel- 
ties are announced for to-night. 

55. 

How do you propose to employ yourself to-day? Mrs. 
Gordon and I have some shopping to do, and therefore we | 
will release you from any attendance on us. — You will j 
of course want the carriage, and accordingly Adolph and . 
I will stroll round to Westminster Hall. He wishes to see 
our Courts of Law. — Shall you return to dinner? — No; j 
we will have a snack at the club. We are going to "the I 
House" to-night; there is a very important debate, and I 
have secured places in the Speaker's Gallery for us both. 

— When shall we see you again ? — I expect it will be a | 
long affair, and I fancy we shall not come away before two j 
o'clock. — But, really, my dear Gordon, this is a most un- \ 
gallant proceeding, to leave the ladies for so long, and with i 
so little ceremony. — Don't bother yourself, my good 
fellow, they will be heartily glad of it, and, in fact, I have i 
designed the arrangement principally for their gratification. !, 

— Why so? — You see Lucy has just come back after 
three months' absence, so the two sisters will have no end ; 
of small-talk and scandal to get through, and they will look , 



53 

on it as a godsend to get a clear day for their work. — 
I protest against any such libel. I will not be a party to 
any plan, founded on such shameful arguments. — Thank 

I you, Mr. Hiller, I am glad you have too much wisdom and 
grace to be corrupted by my brother-in-law's scandalous 

i doctrines. — Now, Adolph, Lucy has smiled on you, and 
you are rewarded for your chivalry; so be satisfied. It is 

; no use for you to rebel, I won't let you stop, to pay so much 

I attention to the ladies. Come along. Reach Mr. Hiller his 
hat and gloves; good-bye to you two girls. 
This is almost too abrupt, I think, it is not? — It won't 
' do to try to humbug me, my dear Hiller, I see you are 
ji quite struck with Lucy, already, and I sha'n't allow your 
, nefarious designs to succeed. — Pooh! you are as absurd 
as ever. 

Is this Westminster Hall ? How very spacious ! — It is 
said to be the largest roof in the world unsupported by 
pillars. The doors on that side lead into the Houses of 
Parliament. Those on this side lead into the Common Law 
Courts. — The Houses of Parliament are not sitting now, I 
suppose? — No, but some of the Parliamentary Committees 
are. — What is this Court? — The Queen's Bench. — The 
gentleman in the full-bottomed wig and robes , who is now 
speaking, is the Lord Chief Justice. The others, who are 
sitting with him, and similarly attired, are also Judges. If 
you will press after me through the crowd, I will lead you 
to a vacant space, where I can explain the arrangement of 
the court to you. 

This is a space occupied principally by Attorneys and 
their clerks; on the left hand is the j dry box, where the 
twelve men constituting the jury are sitting. The one at 
this end in the bottom row is called the foreman of the 
jury. — Who is that man standing by himself? — The 
witness; those persons in wigs are barristers; the front 
row are Queen's Counsel , they are distinguished by wear- 
ing silk gowns; while the junior barristers wear stuff ones 



54 

The Serjeants-at-Law have a wig fashioned to represent a 
tonsure, called a coif. — Who are those gentlemen, in that 
box to the left? -^- Reporters for the newspapers. That 
box is appropriated to their use, but don't talk so loud, 
or we shall catch a reprimand for disorder. 

This is another Court but it bears a very great resem- 
blance to the last. — Yes, this is the Court of Exchequer; 
the judges in it are termed Barons; the one in the centre 
of the bench is the Lord Chief Baron. Close to this there 
is another, called the Court of Common Pleas. — Are these 
the highest judicial authorities in England? — An appeal 
lies from them to the House of Lords ; but that right is 
seldom exercised. — Do these courts entertain every de- 
scription of suit? — They are now sitting only in civil 
cases. — The criminal business of the kingdom is des- 
patched at the Assizes and Sessions. The Court of Chancery 
is held at Lincoln's Inn, the Admiralty Court in the City of 
London, near St. Paul's Cathedral. The constitution and 
working of our different judicial courts is very complicated 
and elaborate, but I will endeavour to give you an idea of 
their organisation as we walk to the club. Our legal system 
has been gradually developed in the course of many cen- 
turies, and it cannot be understood or appreciated without 
a clear comprehension of our history, and a constant refe- 
rence to it. 

56. 

It is about time for us to be moving. We ought to be 
early at the House, or we shall not secure good seats. The 
debate to-night is one on which the continuance of the 
Ministry depends, and the crush of spectators will be very 
large. — This street seems to have a great many public 
buildings in it. — They are principally clubs. This is the 
Carlton, the next to it is the Reform. In the other direc- 
tion is the O'rdnance O'ffice, and within a short distance are 
the Athenaeum, the Travellers, and several other clubs. At 



55 

the end of the street is the National Gallery, looking on 
Trafalgar Square. — There are two or three high pillars 
about. — That one is the Duke of York's Column, the 
other is the Nelson Monument. We shall pass down Spring 
Gardens, by the Horse Guards, behind the Treasury O'ffice. 
— There is a large throng of people already assembled, 
and waiting for admission. — That is a sign that the Stran- 
gers' Gallery is full; but our orders are for the Speaker's 
Gallery which does not fill so rapidly. 

This is, then, your House of Commons? — It is; and 
you will easily understand its arrangement; the gallery 
opposite is appropriated to the reporters of the daily news- 
paper press. The gentleman in the centre, below them, is 
the Speaker. On the Speaker's left hand are the members 
who form the Opposition, and on his right, the Ministry. 
The Premier sits opposite that box which you see on the 
table. He occupies what is called the Treasury Bench. — 
There are no gas-lights in the room. The light is thrown 
down from the roof, a very excellent method : and the inter- 
position of the ground-glass tempers the glare admirably. 
That is the Speaker's mace, I presume, which I see lying 
on the table. — It is. I am sorry to learn that the discussion 
which I expected to hear is postponed; and the subjects 
for to-night are very uninteresting. — The Speaker has 
taken the vote of the Members, and now they are all leaving 
the House. — They are going to register their names in 
consequence of the. cry of "Divide," which was raised just 
now. — I see they are returning; but I do not think there 
are so many as there were previously. — No; there is 
rather a poor attendance now, and the Member who has 
just sat down has moved "that the Speaker do count the 
House". — What is the meaning of that? — You observe 
that he is counting how many members are present; if there 
are less than 40, they will adjourn. The House is counted 
out: all is over for to-night, and we will go home; we shall 
j surprise my wife and sister with our unexpected return. 



56 



There will be a sham fight to-day, with part of the troops 
which have returned from the Crimea, and I think the sight 
will be interesting. Who will go with me? — Where and 
at what time does it take place? — We must be at Hyde 
Park at eleven o'clock. — Have you ordered the carriage? 
— Yes; and if the ladies will accompany us, I think we 
can make a pleasant day of it. W 7 hat say you, Adolph? — 
I am sure my enjoyment will be enhanced by the company 
of Mrs. Gordon and Miss Neville. — I am afraid, Sir, that 
I shall be forced to disappoint you, for I have several 
matters to attend to during the day. — "Two are com- 
pany and three are none," is an old English adage; true, 
but not very elegant. You must not send Adolph, Lucy 
and myself; or, I fear, I shall be very inconveniently in the 
way. — Charles, you are always on the look-out for a 
chance to poke your raillery at me. But here comes Miss 
Neville; let us hear what she says. — Lucy, will you go 
with us to see a military display in Hyde Park ? — I should 
like it of all things. — I thought so, you ladies are so 
fond of red-coats. — Then you really must go with us, 
Mrs. Gordon, in order to make the party complete. — I am 
very sorry to be obliged to stay aw r ay, but I will give up 
my seat to Willie, whose eyes, I see, are already sparkling 
with his anticipated enjoyment. — Thank you, mamma, 
you are very kind indeed, but I should so much like you 
to go also, for I can sit on the box by the driver. — Well, 
if I can finish my arrangements in time, I will give myself 
the pleasure of forming one of the party. 

Now then, Willie, are you dressed? — No, mamma, I 
cannot find my cap, and my boot-lace has just broken, but 
I will be ready in a minute. — Why, you ought to have put 
on a clean collar, and your waistcoat is quite shabby, 
there is a button off it. — I will run and change it, mamma. 
— Be quick then, and remember to put it on my work- 



o7 

! table, and I will sew another biitton on when we come 
I back. — I think it wants a stitch or two tinder the arm- 
| holes. 

I suppose you prefer to sit with your face to the horses, 
Miss Liicy, do you not? — Yes, it always makes me feel 
dizzy to ride backwards-way. — Drive to Hyde Park Corner. 
— Have you many Parts in London? — There are four 
or five. They have been aptly called " the lungs of Lon- 
don 1 '. If it were not for the open spaces of our squares 
and these parks, this huge teeming city would be so close 
and over-crowded there would be no enduring it. This is 
" the Corner". That is Apsley House the residence of the 
Duke of Wellington , and the large iron statue on the top 
of the a»ch is in memory of the late Duke. — We have just 
passed another park, or is it a part of this? — No; that is 
St. James' Park, and continues as far as Buckingham 
Palace , one of the Royal town residences. That is called 
Constitution Hill, it leads to the Palace; Sir Robert Peel 
was riding down there a few years ago, when he was 
throw r n from his horse and killed. — What a great number 
of people there are about. — Yes, and the admixture of 
the gay trappings of the soldiers produces a very pleasing- 
effect. — We will turn down this road to the left, it is 
called " the King's Walk " and will bring us to the site of 
the Great Exhibition of 1851. 

What is that sheet of water? — It is calledthe Serpentine 
river, but it is a misnomer. It partakes far more of the 
character of an artificial lake. The small building, close to 
it, is the depot of the Royal Humane Society. — With 
what object was that society instituted? — Principally to 
provide assistance for persons in danger of drowning. — 
Have they been at all successful? — Extremely; many 
hundreds have been, by their instrumentality, rescued from 
peril, who would otherwise have found a watery grave. 
During the skating season they are particularly active. 
Notices are placed in all the dangerous places to warn 



58 

strangers away, and men are constantly in attendance with 
ropes, life-buoys, etc., to render help, in case of need. — 
I think we must quit the carriage and walk to the field of 
action. — Yes, we shall get along more easily on foot than 
in a "vehicle. 

58. 

We shall have an excellent view here. — Oh, mamma, 
see! the Queen is coming. — She will take a position on 
that rising ground, where she can see all that goes on. — \ 
What troops are those which accompanied the Royal party? ! 

— The Horse Guards. — What a very brilliant spectacle! 

— And how loudly the spectators and soldiers cheer. — 
Her Majesty is very popular. — ; Deservedly so, and the 
English are an eminently loyal people. — Now the review 
is about to commence. Do you see the hussars galloping 
across the open space? — The battery of horse artillery is 
wheeling into position. — The infantry is forming into 
squares, and the light cavalry are charging them. — The | 
Coldstream Guards are retreating slowly. — How beauti- ' 
fully exact and regular those dragoons are in their ma- 
noeuvres! — Do you see those riflemen in their green uni- \ 
form? — Oh, look at that line of Scots Greys thundering 
down on the Highlanders. — They are returning now, ! 
and all the infantry are advancing in line. — The whole 
troops will now defile past the Queen. We shall have an j 
excellent view of them, as they pass. — What tremendous 
shouting; assuredly you English have powerful lungs. — j 
What noble-looking fellows they are! And look, Charles, 1 i 
how the flags are tattered with bullets. — Yes , they are 
shockingly out of repair, they ought to be darned. — Oh, 
how can you talk so. It's positive sacrilege. Every rent 
makes them more glorious and sacred. — More holy, you 
mean. Now don't get so romantic; you see you've en- 
trapped me into a most despicable pun, and caused me 
great self-reproach. — Why, how can you talk so coolly 



59 

about it. These are the men who were at the Alma. — 
Well, and they are very glad to be back again. — Don't 
you respect them for their privations and sufferings? — 
They'll make up for them, now they have got within reach 
of beef and beer. — You are incorrigible; you have not a 
spark of poetry or patriotism in you. I won't have any- 
thing more to say to you. — Miss Neville , don't believe 
him, he is only trying to plague you; I know him better 
than you do on this subject. When he was in Germany, 
he would have fought any man who dared even to look dis- 
respect to his country. He is only shamming all this insen- 
sibility. In his inmost soul, I can vouch for his being almost 
madly English. — Then , when he ruins his character by 
his language , I must forgive him for your version of his 
thoughts. Well, I'll be merciful. 

As you are well-versed in these matters, let me hear 
who the celebrities are that we see around us. — You 
distinguish the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Duke of 
Cambridge. That soldier, just now riding past us, is Lord 
C, colonel of the ...th regiment of the Hussars; and he is 
followed by the major, captain, and other officers, at the 
head of their men. They formed a detachment of the light 
brigade, which were on active service, during the late war. 
The horseman who is saluting Her Majesty is Brigadier- 
general W. He was attached to the staff of the Commander- 
in-Chief. But the review is over, and the royal retinue 
have left the ground. It is time for us also to wend our 
way homewards. 

59. 

You appear thoughtful and anxious this morning, my 
friend. Will it be impertinent if I inquire whether anything 
has occurred to annoy you? — I am sorry to say that my 
little boy is very ill. He was rather feverish last night, and 
went to bed earlier than usual. He has slept very little, 
and is now very hot and restless. I have sent for the 



CO 

family doctor, whose arrival I am now expecting every 
moment. — I am sincerely grieved to hear this; what is 
the cause of .his illness do you think? — He was engaged 
with some of his play-mates yesterday in some violent 
out-door sports. He became very much excited, and the 
exercise made him perspire freely, and then, he thought- 
lessly lay down on the damp grass to rest himself when 
tired. The consequence was that he caught a severe cold, 
and he aggravated the mischief by drinking too largely j' 
from a stream of water which runs through their play- 
ground. — Is that the physician's carriage which has just I 1 
pulled up at your door? — Yes, I am glad to see him, for 
poor Charles is in such a state that I am very nervous 
about him. Good morning, doctor, you will dispense with 
formality, I am sure, and step up stairs directly to see 
Charles who is very ill. 

This is the room. — Charley , Dr. F. has come to see 
you, and make you well again. — Now my little friend, 
what is the matter with you? — Oh, my head is very hot, 
and I am so thirsty, and I cannot get to sleep. — Let me 
feel your pulse, don't get up; lie quite still. — There is 
such a throbbing in my forehead. — Ah, we'll soon put it 
all to rights, you will have to lie in bed all day, and try to 
be as quiet as you can; don't toss about the clothes so 
much, and I will send you some medicine that will do you < 
a great deal of good. — Thank you, doctor. 

Is it anything very serious, my dear Sir? — I am afraid I 
it will turn out scarlatina. You had better not let his little | 
brothers and sisters go near him, and if it takes a decided ! 
form, I shall recommend you to send them from the house r 
for a few days. In the mean time, place some disinfecting 
powder near his chamber door. I will send for some leeches, 
which you must have applied to his temples, and I hope he 
will have a favourable turn before many hours are over our 
heads. Send this prescription to the druggist, and he will 



Gl 

supply you with some pills and mixture, and the necessary 
directions how to administer them.

Edward, you have heen studying Geography lately; 
tell me what you think of it. — Really, mamma, I can 
scarcely tell you, but it is certainly a very delightful study. 

— What part of the world have you been reading about? 

— We have been learning about Europe for some time; but 
now we are engaged upon North America. — That is 
right! One almost naturally proceeds from Europe to Amer 
rica. — W T e are also reading the History of England; and 
have got as far as the reign of George the Third. — I will 

I ask you a few questions to examine you; let me see 
whether I can fathom your geographical and historical lore 
What was the reign of Henry VIII. principally remarkable 
for? — For the great cruelty of the king towards his many 
wives. — True ! but something of more importance to the 
country occurred while that king was on the throne ? — I 
know what you mean. The Reformation took place. — 
That is quite correct. What was the principal event in the 
time of Queen Elizabeth ? — Oh there were so many won- 
derful men lived then, and there were many remarkable 
events took place; but I suppose you refer to the defeat of 
the Spanish Armada. — Now tell me the most noteworthy 
revolutions which have disturbed our country. — There 
were the battles between the Houses of York and Lan- 
caster, and the civil war between Charles I. and his Parlia- 
ment, and the Great Revolution of \ 688, when William III 
and Mary came to the throne. — Has any great civil broil 
distracted the empire since that time? — Yes; the War 
of Independence, when'the American colonies, under Wash- 
ington, separated themselves from our government, and 
erected themselves into the United States. — How many- 
Queens have exercised the sovereign power in England? 
j — Three, Mary and Elizabeth and Victoria. — I have 



62 

caught you tripping at last. You have quite forgotten Marv 
the wife of William III. and Anne, You ought also to have 
mentioned Lady Jane Grey. We will now try your skill 
in another department. What is the staple manufacture of 
Northampton? — Boots and shoes. — And of Sheffield? 

— Cutlery and plated ware. — Manchester? — Cotton 
goods. — Bradford? — Woollen fabrics. — What does New- 
castle-on-Tyne supply? — Coal. — And what is Stafford- 
shire noted for? — Its potteries. — Where is the finest 
English scenery? — In Derbyshire, and the Lake district 
of Cumberland and Westmoreland. — There are many 
other parts of our country which I consider equally beauti- 
ful, but those you have named are perhaps the most cele- 
brated. — North Wales is also very famous for its moun- 
tain views. — Right; enumerate the principal ports in 
England. — London , Liverpool, Bristol, Hull, Newcastle. 

— That will do. Where was Shakspeare born? — At 
Stratford-on-Avon. — And where is Lord Bacon buried? 

— At St. Albans. — Which are our most fashionable 
Watering places? — Scarborough, Harrogate, Buxton, 
Brighton, Bath, Cheltenham, &c. &c. 

61. 

Help me to remove the table. — Where do you wish 
to place it? — A little further from the fire; it is too hot. 

— We should have lifted it; it has left a mark upon 
the carpet. — I am going to church for the first time in j 
England. — You will find the service very impressive. — 
The clergyman reads prayers from the desk, the Commu- 
nion Service from the altar, and preaches from the pulpit; 
does he not? — Yes; and the choir and congregation 
follow him in the prayers, and sometimes respond aloud. 

— Is the service very long? — It is seldom more than an 
hour and three quarters. — That is very long. — What 
did you think of the singing? — The chants were very 
finely executed, but the anthem was a failure. I think it! 



63 

was the fault of the organist. — There was a baptism this 
morning. I inspected the font, and was charmed with the 
design and artistic execution. It is a beautiful specimen of 
antique carving. — Was the service well attended this 
I morning? — Yes; the pews seemed to be well filled, and 
i the free seats were crowded, there were also several per- 
I sons sitting on benches in the aisles of the church. I was 
I much pleased with the devout demeanor of the people. — 
lj The chancel of the minster is very much admired; it is of 
j earlier date than the remainder of the edifice, which has 
j been so often restored that very little of the original biiild- 
I ing remains. — The sermon was a very good one; the 
j preacher was the Bishop of L . . . , the introductory part of 
i the service was conducted by the Dean of R... . He has a 
S clear and sonorous voice, and his delivery was distinct. — 
The Bishop is very much respected. He is learned, elo- 
quent and pious. — He is a venerable-looking man, and 
has an amiable countenance. — His appearance and style 
I are certainly very prepossessing. — A collection was 
made at the close, to assist in defraying the expenses in- 
I curred in building a chapel-of-ease. — I hope they wiD 
; realize a large sum, for extra-accommodation was needed 
in this populous parish. 

62. 

Hand me my shawl. — The brown one, or the plaid? 

— The weather is very warm. I have perspired freely all 
the day. — Exercise must nevertheless be taken, if w r e 
would preserve health. 

Let me arrange your hair. — I am very nearly bald, 

as you perceive. — Really, so you are? How do you ac- 

I count for that? — It was the result of a fever. — Is this 

comb tortoise-shell? — It was bought for such, I Relieve. 

— Shall I fasten the hooks-and-eyes for you? — I don't 
! use them; I have found buttons more convenient. 

I think I shall wear this silk mantle. — Then put on 



64 

the green bonnet. It harmonizes with that dress better 
than any other that you have. — I wish the present fashion 
would change, for I don't like to wear such a tiny thing. 

— The worst of it is , that they are worn so much at the 
back of the head, or rather down in the neck, that we do 
not get the benefit of them , small as they are. One's head 
might as well be quite uncovered. Do you like this 
brooch? — I think it is very beautiful. — It was a birth- 
day-gift from my husband. The cameo is considered to be 
quite a gem. — You are wonderfully stocked with dresses, 
I never saw such an abundant wardrobe. — I am going to 
give away many of these garments. I will make you a 
present of that French merino. That lace veil was the one 
I wore at my bridal. — This is an exquisite satin. What 
do these large parcels contain? — The two on the right 
hand are calico and flannel, and the other is a roll of 
carpet which I am going to lay down here. The drugget 
in the nursery is nearly worn out, so I shall transfer this 
carpet to that room. It is too good to throw on one side, 
and the children romp about so that it is not worth while 
to give them a new carpet, for they would very soon ruin it. 

— You have a very handsome pin-cushion on your dress- 
ing table. — My niece made it for a charitable bazaar, 
and I bought it for her sake. She is very clever at rug- 
work but the colours of the wools are much faded, and 
some of the more delicate parts are a little soiled with con- 
stant wear. Will you be kind enough to reach me that 
bottle of Lavender water? — One of your tresses has 
escaped from the comb. Let me fasten it for you with a 
hair pin. — The skirt of this gown is rather crumpled. I 
think the maid must have crushed it carelessly into the 
drawer. She is very untidy sometimes. I observe that she 
has not dusted the top of this chest of drawers. — It is 
difficult to meet with a servant in whom you can place 
perfect reliance. — The only way to ensure that a thing 
shall be done right is to see to it yourself. A slovenly girl 



65 

is a great nuisance in a well ordered house. She seems to 
have no concern for neatness , and hurries through her 

I duties in such a superficial way that everything gets into 
disorder. — Have you got your parasol? — Yes, and we 
will take this reticule with us. As we have to make some 
small purchases we shall need it. — I want a crochet- 

i needle and some sewing cotton. — Oh dear! J have 

i scratched my finger severely with this large pin. Give me 
those scissors, I have some court-plaster here which will 

I soon heal the wound. — We had better take some small 
silver with us ; it is annoying to wait for change in the 

,| shop. 

63. 

I hope you enjoyed the musical entertainment last 
night at Exeter Hall? — I was very well satisfied. The 
choruses went like clock-work, and the parts were evenly 
balanced. — I thought the tenors were rather flat in the 
last piece. — I fancied so myself, but I have not so deli- 

I cate and correct an ear as you have. — There was great 
excuse for them , they had a great deal of hard work pre- 
viously , and the high notes tried their voices very much. 
— Did you admire the song which closed the first part of 
the performance ? — It was a soprano solo in a minor key 
if I remember rightly. — Yes: and it was sung by the de- 
butante Miss N... — That is the one to which I refer. It 

: was a very pathetic strain, and was effectively rendered, 
but I am not partial to music of that description. Perhaps 

i I am deficient in true musical taste. — There was a young 
lady who sang the second treble, and who was rapturously 

i encored in a pretty simple little ballad. ' — She is con- 
sidered an excellent singer ; she has been educated at the 
Royal Academy of Music, and is one of their most im- 

i proving and promising pupils. — The conductor appeared 

! to be thoroughly well fitted for his post. He kept a most 

| perfect command over the whole orchestra. — The duet 
The English Echo, 5 



66 

and glee by Bishop were admirably executed. — Did it 
not strike you that the counter singer's voice sounded very 
harsh and strained? — I did not observe it, but here 
comes a friend of mine who is quite a critic in such matters 
and who was amongst the audience. 

I saw you at the concert last evening, did I not? — 
You did ; and very much delighted I was. — You are 
aware, I suppose, that the chief performer was blind ? — 
Yes, I was, and most finished the performance was for 
one even possessed of sight. — Who played the flute? — 
A stranger. — I thought the double-bass produced a very 
fine effect. All instruments of that class are very effective 
when well played, but otherwise they ruin the harmony 
entirely. 

When did you last see your father? — I saw him at 
Christmas ; he is still very hale and strong. — He is likely 
to live, I should think, for many years to come. His family 
have all been very long-lived. — Ha! here is the postman. 
- 1 am very glad to hear it ; for I have been expecting a 
letter for a long time now. — Here are the letters. I will 
look over them. There are none for you. — And pray 
how have you been spending your morning? — I have 
been looking at the Assyrian sculpture in the British 
Museum. — And what do you think of it? is it not veryi 
beautiful and interesting? — Extremely; I certainly had 
no conception that they were so clever in those days as to 
be able to make anything of that sort. — You know per-i 
haps, that we are indebted to Mr. Layard for these dis- 
coveries ? — No ; I did not: has he written a book about' 
them? — Oh yes; a very instructive one. — Howl should 
like to read it! — You shall do so if you wish; I have it 
in the library, and shall be glad to lend it to you. 

Good morning, papa. — Good morning, Robert, you 
are late. — Yes ; I overslept myself. — You should rise 
earlier : why did you not get up when I knocked at your 
door ? — I scarcely heard you , papa ; I fell asleep again. 



67 

|! Oh, here are mamma and sister; good morning, mamma; 
wood morning, sister; .... what have you been doing? — 

J We have had a nice walk ; you have missed that. — What 

;! a pity! how far did you walk? — As far as the bridge. — 

; It is a beautiful morning; you must have enjoyed your- 

! selves. — Very much; we only wished you were with us 

J to enjoy it too. 

64. 

We want to see some light silks for an evening dress. 

— The brocade silks are the most fashionable now, ma'am. 

— You will have it with a double skirt? — Here are some 
shot silks; this pale lavender and green will do very nicely. 
The price is six guineas the dress. — Some tarlatan for 
a ball dress. — W^hite? — Yes; with a pink lining. — 
Shall you want "illusion"? — And rose-coloured silk. — 
You will want some ribbon to. loop up the flounces? — 
Yes, and Valenciennes lace for the trimming; with artifi- 
cial flowers, white and red rose-buds. — Do you keep 
gold dust for the hair? — No, ma'am. — I shall also need 
some fringe for the other dress. — We have none that will 
suit these colours; we must get it made to order. — Then 
let it be an inch and a half deep , with a tassel pattern. — 
Shew me some white sarsenet and some pearl buttons. I 
should also like to see some shirting calico, and fine Irish 
linen. — I think, Lucy, you want four reels of embroidery 
cotton. — Yes, and I must select some patterns if you 
have any marked for collars and sleeves. 

Will you wal„k up into the bonnet roohi? — I think I 
shall buy one of the new archery hats. One of a nice 
brown, colour and a feather to match. 

What is the latest fashion in cloaks for this winter ? — 

They are at present made very large , but I do not think 

the fashion will last, I could not advise you to get one of 

that pattern. — Then I will have an opera cloak with 

f | scarlet lining, and a velvet bow on the hood. 

5* 



68 

We have some fine India and Paisley shawls. They 
are just conre in and are very stylish. — I do not need 
anything in that way; but I can take some cambric hand- 
kerchiefs! That wall be all to-day; we must now call at 
the hosier's. 

We are come to choose some lamb's wool stockings 
and also some silk ones. — I want some gloves, I prefer 
them French kid, English sewed. Send me some white 
ones, the best you have, and also half a dozen pairs of 
mits embroidered with gold thread. I think our purchases 
are now completed. — I intended to get some Berlin wool. 
— Ah! I had forgotten that, this is the shop where I ge- 
nerally deal. We will step in. 

I am going to work a chair, would you advise me to 
use black or w r liite canvas? — You had better have black; 
you will save so much time, and use so much less wool. — 
It is very honest of you to. give me that counsel ; for it will 
diminish the extent of my purchases with you. — Yes, but 
I am not quite disinterested; I wish to serve you so as to 
lead you to patronize me again. — I must also buy some 
floss silk for some slippers which I am working, and some 
chenille for my lamp mat. Have you a satchel frame with 
a clasp? 

You know my address; please to send me these things 
as early as possible. — I will despatch a messenger with 
them directly. They shall be at your house almost as soon 
as you are, and I think they will give you perfect satis- 
faction. — I hope so, the last articles I had from you have 
worn well, and kept their colour admirably while those 
which I obtained from another dealer have become quite 
dingy and faded. — I can conscientiously guarantee that 
all you have now bought is of the best quality. No better 
goods are in the market. 

65. 

I have the pleasure of addressing Dr. S. . . I believe. — 
Yes, Sir. — I have been recommended by a friend to 



69 

intrust my son's education to you, and if you have a 
vacancy in your school, I shall be glad to place him under 
i| your charge. — I will endeavour to do my best for him, 
j and I will take care that he shall have all the advantages 
I can bestow. — Do you profess to exercise any super- 
vision over the moral conduct of the pupils? — Yes, Sir, 
I think that literary attainments are a secondary conside- 
ration, and my principal object is to make the boys not only 
clever men but good men. — I can congratulate you upon 
the fact that several of my friends who have been trained 
in your establishment, are now filling responsible stations 
I in society, and that they all speak with great respect and 
■ affection of you. They unanimously and cordially approved 
of my design in bringing my boy to you. I can therefore 
1 devolve the responsibility of his education on you with 
most perfect confidence. — I thank you very sincerely, 
Sir; may I ask what you would like him to learn? — He 
is at present too young for me to form a very definite idea 
of what will be his probable course in life; I should there- 
fore wish you to give him a sound English education, and 
instruct him in the rudiments of the Classics and Mathe- 
matics. If he should display sufficient talent and industry 
I shall wish him to go to the law , either as an attorney or 
a barrister. — You would desire him to have some know- 
ledge of the modern languages? — Yes; he may begin 
French and German if you think it advisable for him to 
do so. — I do not recommend the practice of giving a boy 
too many subjects at first. I always find it distracts his 
attention, and makes him very superficial in all of them. 
— I quite agree with you. Let him learn everything tho- 
roughly to which he devotes himself at all. I cannot bear 
a slipshod acquaintance with a multitude of things. He 
will remain with you for four or five years; and if he suc- 
ceeds well here, I shall then send him to College. In the 
mean time, treat him according to your own ideas; I have 
! no doubt that your extensive experience will suggest the 



70 

best course to be adopted with regard to him. — Do you 
mean him to learn Drawing and Music ? — I leave that 
with yourself. If you think he can safely give any time to 
the accomplishments, without seriously diverting his ener- 
gies from more solid matters , you can throw them in. — 
I am rejoiced to have so sensible a father to deal with. 
Some parents give me such absurd directions about their 
children, that the attempt to comply with their wishes, 
causes me endless trouble and annoyance , and exercises a 
most pernicious influence on the pupils themselves. — You 
will be good enough .to keep me informed as to his con- 
duct and progress; and I will do all I can to support your 
authority and to assist your designs. — I shall send you 
every month a regular report of his work; and at the be- 
ginning of each term, I will see you personally to consult 
with you at length about the arrangement of his studies. 
In the mean time, I will treat him with kindness, and 
endeavour to make myself acquainted with his character 
and capabilities. In a few months I shall in all likelihood 
be able to suggest with greater certainty the best line of 
study for him to adopt. — If he were to confine his atten- 
tion to English, French and Latin, it would perhaps be 
as much as he can manage just now. — That is precisely 
what I propose to do with him, but I shall probably add a 
little music. If so, what instrument shall he learn? — Either 
the violin or the piano. I cannot let him try the flute for 
his lungs are not strong enough for a wind instrument, but 
he may choose for himself. He will be a boarder and I 
therefore I should like you to see that he writes home 
once a fortnight at least. — He shall do so. The vacations 
are six weeks at Midsummer and five at Christmas. There 
is also a half holiday every Wednesday and Saturday* 
afternoon. 

66. 
Adolph, I am going to lay in a stock of small matters, 
and if you have any purchases to make and will commis- 



' 71 

sion me to be your agent, I can save you the trouble. — 
| Thank you, I shall be very glad to go with you, and I 
( j have one little concern to attend to which I think I cannot 
J; get even you to take off my hands. — Indeed! and what 
may that be, pray? — Why I have had several twinges of 
; tooth-ache , and I find that one of my teeth is so far de- 
I cayed that the best plan will be to have it drawn before it 
j gives me any further pain. — I certainly should not like 
j to act as a substitute for you in such a case as that, and 
| moreover I don't think that it would benefit you if I were 
| to have my jaw pulled to pieces. — Do you know a good 
j dentist in the neighbourhood? — Yes, there is a practf- 
j tioner only a few doors off, who has the reputation of 
' being a clever man in his profession. You had better sub- 
mit yourself to his inspection, perhaps he can spare you 
the necessity of losing the tooth. 

My friend wishes to consult you about an unsound 
tooth, which he fears must be extracted. — It is a good 
deal decayed but it will be a pity to lose it, and I think I 
can save you the pain. — Can you hinder it from becom- 
ing any worse? — I can ensure it for some years at all 
events. It is one of the molar teeth in the lower jaw, and 
if I take it out you ought to have a false one inserted. But 
I think it may be stopped, and if you will allow me , I will 
do it at once. — Are all my other teeth sound ? — Quite 
so. — I have now plugged up the cavity with a mineral 
composition which will be quite hard in a few hours, and 
I think you will experience no further annoyance from it. 
If the pain should recur, I can then try severer measures 
but I am unwilling to pull the tooth out if it can by any 
means be avoided. — You had better not use that side of 
your mouth to-day in chewing your food. 

Now let us finish our other business , and firstly I will 
replenish my cigar case. This is the tobacconist with whom 
I usually deal. — I want half a pound of tobacco , of the 
same description as before; and another box of cigars. — 



.'! 



72 

What brand do you prefer? — Either Havannas or Manil- 
las , I do not care which. By-the-bye I have broken my 
tobacco-box, I must have another. — What material do 
you like. Metal? — What are those made of? — Lava. — 
I think they look neat, I will take the largest one. What 
are you admiring, Adolph? — This meerschaum bowl. I 
have quite fallen in love with it, and I think I shall take 
possession of it. — It is exquisitely modelled. What is 
the price of it? — Two pounds. — That is a long price. 
— It is an unusually perfect piece of meerschaum, and the 
mounting is silver. — Give me a box of fusees and a cigar , 
tube. I want moreover a tobacco-stopper, and a snuff box a 
which you may fill with the best high- dried snuff. I will 
have also a hookah and a flexible tube and you may en- 
close a packet of those scented pipe-lights. Add a dozen 
long clay pipes and then I shall be set up for a time. 

67. 

Here is a splendid morning for hunting. — Where do 
the hounds meet to-day? — At Stanton, about four miles 
off. We must make haste with our breakfast, and then we 
will drive down in the dog-cart. I have told John to meet 
us there with the hunters. — Have you got a good horse 
for me? — There will be very few animals in the field to- 
day that will match yours. — I generally ride him myself, 
and I can promise you that it will be your own fault if you 
are not in at the death. — I am sorry I have not got my 
hunting suit with me. You look so very dashing that you 
quite make me envy you. — I can lend you a cap if you 
would like to wear one. — Thank you, I will have a guard 
to my hat-band. — William, bring me my top-boots, and 
take this dressing-gown up-stairs. — Shall I help you to 
put on your coat? 

That is a fast horse of yours. — I don't think I ever 
knew so fast a trotter. I am sorry to say that he is very 
uncomfortable in the saddle , but I never saw one do his 



73 

I work so "well between the shafts. — I shall time him , and 
j see how long we are- in going to Stanton. It was exactly 

I five and twenty minutes past the hour when we started. — 

I I am afraid it is a little too frosty for the scent to lie well. 
,! — Why I declare your horse has no blinkers on. — No, 
i he was broken in without them, and I think he looks far 
i more sprightly and handsome than with them. — But is it 
,not a dangerous experiment? — With most animals it 
i would be, but he is thoroughly used to it, and he has such 

a beautiful temper. Here we are; how long have we been? 

— It is now ^seventeen minutes to nine o'clock. We have 
come four miles in eighteen minutes. That is certainly a 

I remarkable speed. — And we have not once broken out 
!of the trot, nor have I ever had the whip out of the socket. 
i — The field is all alive. We are still in plenty of time. — 
That is the, head huntsman. There are our horses. Do 
you ride with a martingale? — Which horse shall I mount? 

— The chestnut mare. She has a curb on, I ride with a 
snaffle only. — You have only done justice to the character 
of the horse you have lent me, if I may judge from her 
appearance. She is really a great beauty. How clean- 
limbed! — I see you have a pair of severe spurs, but I 
think you will hardly need them. 

68. 

The hounds have not yet found, I think. — There is a 

cover here, where we very often find sport. — Hark! there 

is the cry. Tallyho ! Now for it. Seat yourself well in the 

saddle. There he goes across the fallow field. Now then 

they are all away. Canter up this way with me. We will 

go round through that gate. Let us get the horses gradually 

into their work , and when they are fairly warmed , see if 

| we don't lead the field. — There is one man unhorsed 

(already. — And another has just gone head-over-heels 

|into the ditch. — That young man will break his neck if 

| he rides so recklessly. Now then loosen your rein and 



1 



74 

come along over this meadow. We must leap the hedge | 
at the end of it. There is a gap a little to the right, make 
for that, and I will take it at your side. — Hurrah! well 
done! — They are all in view. Do you see Reynard 
yonder making for that wood? — They have turned him, 
he is striking across the common. — Now we shall have ■. 
a chance of a good stiff race. There is a very awkward L 
five-barred gate, which will try your seat. Get your horse L 
well in hand, and follow me. Don't be afraid, but rise \ 
boldly at it, and she will take you over as clean as pos 
sible. Bravo! now we have a clear course for a good \ 
distance over this common; let us stretch out and we will 
soon leave all this ruck behind. — This is glorious, I don't 
wonder that you are so fond of hunting. — We shall be j 
up with the hounds in a couple of minutes. They are L 
scouring along in prime style. — There are only three , 
horsemen ahead of us now. — The fox has doubled; come 
this way , and we can cut off a corner , we shall save half 
a mile and head the whole field. I know where he will 
aim for. — This mare is as comfortable as an easy chair. \ 
I never rode so sweetly in all my life. — Hallo! come 
along, they have run him down. As hard as ever you can 
gallop, and we shall be in at the death. Never mind that \ 
fence. Rush at it. Hurrah! The huntsman has got him -, 
from the dogs. We are the first in; I told you we should | 
beat them all. — Here comes the rest of the field. — You . 
have won the brush, and you deserve it, for you rode ex- 
tremely well, and I congratulate you. — Now we will jog 
quietly home, and recount our adventures to the ladies. — 
We shall be quite heroes after this morning's exploit. 

69. 

I am going down to the kitchen to see about the pre- \ 
paration for the party. Will you come and help me, Lucy? - 

— I shall be very glad to render you any assistance I can. 

— I shall ask you to undertake the custards, the trifle, the 



75 

;| blanc-mange and the jeDies. — I will do my best to show 
I you what a good confectionar I am. — I am sorry to say 
i! that I cannot place much dependance on my cook. She is 
1 both slatternly and incapable. Now see what a mess the 
! kitchen is. Cook, you have got your kitchen in a very 
, slovenly state. What are these cups and saucers doing 
i here? — They are the breakfast things, ma'am, they are 
. not washed up yet. — What a shame! it is an hour and a 
| half since breakfast was over. What have you been doing 
with yourself all the time ? Take them into the scullery 
immediately. This hearth too is disgraceful. Your fender 
. has not been cleaned; it is all bespattered with grease 
| spots. Why are those two saucepans and the kettle stand- 
ing on the hob? — They have got something in them, 
i ma'am. — How long is it since you black-leaded the 
grate? — It was done this morning. ■ — • You must have 
done it very hurriedly and carelessly then. Put by this 
gridiron. Arrange the fire-irons. Now clear this dresser, 
I want to do some work here, and there is no room on it. 
Where are all the plates and dishes? — They are in the 
back-kitchen. — Why, you have never washed the supper 
things since last night? The sink is covered with things. 
Find me the frying-pan. This warming-pan has no busi- 
ness here. — If you please, ma'am, we want some more 
dish-covers. — How is that? You had some the other day. 

— Three of them are spoiled. The plate-warmer fell on 
them , and dinted them so badly that the silversmith says 
they cannot be restored and must be melted down again. 

— There is a long row of candlesticks. Mary, you had 
better clean them, and then polish the spoons. — The 
butler has got the whitening. I will go to him for it. — 
Do so, and tell him I want the key of the wine-cellar. — 
The fire does not draw well; pull out the damper, and put 
two or three shovelfuls of coal into the coal-box. — We 
want a new cleaver and a nutmeg-grater. — I have ordered 

| them, and also a pestle and mortar. Clean down this 



76 

dresser, and wipe out that pan, there is a dishcloth on the 
oven. I think this cock leaks, the water spouts out very 
irregularly. — Shall I kindle you a fire in the back- 
kitchen? — Yes, you had better take the bellows. — The 
nozzle is bent. — Why , what destruction you have made, 
you must have been amusing yourself with flinging the 
things about. The feathers of this dusting-brush are burnt, 
and the mop handle is broken. I cannot put up with such 
conduct any longer. I shall be compelled to discharge you, 
and I give you notice to leave me in a month.

It is very close and sultry to-day. — The heat is quite 
overpowering. — Do you feel inclined to bathe? — I 
should enjoy it vastly. — Come then we will go to the ; 
baths. — There are several baths in London, I think. — 
Yes, this is the place to which I always resort. — Can 
you swim and dive well? — Yes, 1 learnt when I was quite 
a boy, and I have had a good deal of practice since then: 
— Plunge in then. What a splash you make. Try to swim 
with only one hand and leg. — How should I manage 
that? — Pass your arm behind your back, and seize your 
right foot in your left hand. Now turn partially on your 
right side and strike out. — I see. It is not difficult, but it is 
tiring work. I like swimming on my back best ; it is such I 
an easy and lazy way of getting along. — Did you ever j 
try to swim in the Italian method? — That is in an upright 
position, is it not? — Yes; you will find it less fatiguing 
than the ordinary way, but it is also much slower. — I 
think I shall have one more dive and then get out. ■ — It is 
not wise to remain long in the water, for fear of getting 
too cold and cramped. — I see I have already indulged, 
myself too much, my fingers are quite blue. — Rub your- 
self well with this rough towel and it will restore the cir- 
culation. — I think I shall go to the gymnasium , and take 
a little exercise there. Are you fond of fencing? — I do 



• 77 

loot understand the use of the rapier but I am fond of 
1 broad-sword play. — The other style of fencing is more 
1 graceful and scientific. — It gives you great quickness of 
1 eye. — The professor has a large collection of the imple- 
' ments of his art. — Those are basket-hilts for the stick- 
j play. — What a great number of foils there are hung on 
| hooks all round the room ! — They belong to the gentle- 
,men who frequent the place. — You will see the names of 
(the owners if you look. — Who is that young man with 
the breast-pad ? — It is the fencing master's assistant. — 
I Two gentlemen are donning their masks and gloves for an 
j assault. — It is to be a trial of sword against bayonet. 
j The assistant has given him a musket. — They are very 
! cautious. Well thrust and parried! Ha! that is home on 
Ihim. The bayonet has the best of it clearly. — Come and 
try these dumb bells or the Indian clubs. — I shall prefer 
taking a turn or two round the horizontal bar. — How 
high can you vault? — Six feet. — Oh dear! I can only 
get over a pole five feet high. — Why I can leap that high 
with a run. — Let me see you clamber up this knotted 
rope. — Bravo ! you would make an excellent sailor-boy, 
you could run up and down the shrouds like a monkey. 
You did not use your legs at all. Your arms must be 
monstrously strong. — • This kind of exercise strengthens 
the muscles amazingly. — What is this concern ? — It is 
called an aerial railway. It is a very good exercise for de- 
veloping the pectoral muscles and for benefiting the chest 
generally. — Let me see a few of your pranks on the pa- 
rallel bars. I suppose it is more difficult to maintain that 
slow and steady motion than to rise and fall with a jerk. 
How smoothly and with what apparent ease you go through 
all your gyrations. — It was very hard work though at 
first. — What distance can you leap? — With a run, I 
can cover nineteen feet , but I can only jump ten feet at a 
I stand. — I will just scramble up this rope-ladder and then 



78 

we will go. I am now thoroughly in a perspiration and 
feel rather weary. 

71. 

If you please, Sir, the builder is down stairs, he says 
you told him to call on you about some alterations in the 
out-buildings. — Quite right, I will come down to him and 
give him his directions. — Good day, my man. Have you 
brought any labourers with you? — Yes, Sir, I have 
brought several, as I understood you to say that it was a 
heavy job. — You will want them all, I think. I have got 
a plan here which will show you what you are to do. 
expect the architect every moment. — We are to pull 
down that small shed, I suppose. — Yes. Here is Mr. S. 
the architect. Now, let us lay our heads together. I will 
tell you my scheme in general terms, and then this plan 
which I have approved will give you the details. You 
must take down this set of offices and build a coach-house, 
stable and cottage for the groom. On the other side I 
want a set of out-houses as shown in this sketch. Between 
the coach-house and stable there will be a harness-room,, 
and above all a large hay-chamber. Close to these I propose 
to have a tool-house, and I want you to dig a pond wherel 
the grass plot is now. In the centre of the fishpond you 
will put up a fountain. Just where the laurel tree stands, 
you must sink a well. The water-pipes you will be good-, 
enough to order from the foundry. I have already chosen^ 
a statue and basin for the fountain. The owner of the 
neighbouring marble works has promised to cart them here!, 
to-morrow. 

Lower down in the garden where the poplar tree now 
grows you will have to build a hot-house, and in the cor- 
ner under that large oak, there is to be an arbour. You 
will find work here for masons, joiners, excavators, brick- 
layers, plumbers and glaziers. Inside the house I have 
two rooms to be white-washed and one to be papered and 



79 

! decorated. So I shall need some plasterers and painters. 
L_ If you will allow me, Sir, I will set my labourers to 
jwork at onee out of doors, and then I will follow you to 
'look at what has to be done in-doors. — Do so. I must 
jnot forget to say that I want a pigeon-house, surmounted 
by a weather-cock, on the top of the stables, and you must 
jrun up a large rabbit-hutch for my little boy. By-the-bye, 
there is something wrong with the roof of the house; you 
jmust send a slater up to see what is the matter. The rain 
jhas been coming through into the garret. I think he will find 
• the mischief close at the base of that pile of chimneys. 
| Tell your men not to annoy the bees. If they go too near 
ijand cause any disturbance about the bee-hives they will 
jmost probably make the insects angry, and get stung for 
(their pains. Besides, as they only swarmed yesterday, they 
are hardly settled yet, and if they are much meddled with, 
jthey may desert their new home. Your carpenters will 
jnot have anything to go on with at present, so you can set 
lone of them to make me a large dog-kennel. 

Is this the room that you want coloured? — Yes, and 
'jthe next room is to be grained in wainscot. I will have 
! |the ceiling white-washed at once. Warn your men not 
to interfere with those wires. I had the bell-hanger in the 
house only two days ago. — We must cover that chan- 
delier or the lime will drop on it. — It must come 
J down altogether. I am going to put up a new three-light 
chandelier. — Then we had better remove it at once, it 
will be in the way of the trestles and planks. I will tell 
the men to bring in their scrapers, brushes and buckets, 
and get along with the job at once, 

72. 

My dear, Adolph and I are going for a stroll on the 
heath; will you accompany us and perhaps Lucy will go? 
— We shall both be very glad. — Then go and put your 
bonnets on and don't keep us waiting an hour , you are 



80 

such sad dawdles; you make us spend half the day in pre- 
parations. — For shame, Charles, how can you say so? 
Now you shall see how quick we can be. 

Adolph, will you offer your arm to one of these ladies, 
or shall I relieve you from the difficulty of selection? — 
I have already extracted Miss Neville's promise. — Come 
along then , keep a very tight hold of him, Lucy, for it is 
very breezy and the wind is at present right in our faces. 

— Why can't you leave them alone, you are eternally tor- 
menting them. ■ — Well, I will spare their mutual blushes. 

— The boys are playing at cricket, I should have thought 
the wind was too high. — That is a game which I do not 
understand, but in England it appears to be a great favo- 
rite. — It is quite one of our national sports. If you will 
come here I will try to explain it to you. Those upright 
sticks are called stumps or wickets, the gentlemen before 
them have bats in their hands, with which they endeavour 
to ward off the ball from the stumps , and the man who is 
just now moving is the bowler. — There! you see he has 
bowled at the wickets, but the batter has struck the ball 
away. If the batter should strike the ball into the air, and 
any of the fielders should catch it, another player would 
take the bat. Or if the bowler succeeds in knocking the 
wicket down with the ball, the batter in that case would 
have to ' give way to another. — It is a noble game and p 
requires great strength and activity. 



73. 

Here we have a number of boys playing at minor 
sports. Hallo, my fine little fellow, you have got your kite 
well up. It soars very fast. — Yes, Sir, and it pulls very 
hard, would you like to feel the string? — What a long 
tail you have put to it. — Yes, Sir, but not longer than 
the kite needs to balance it and keep it steady. — They 
are playing at marbles here. Who is the winner? — That 
boy; he is such a good shot, that he clears the ring almost 






81 

every time. — I declare, Adolph, I begin to feel quite 
siyoung with looking at these children. I shall begin to play 
at something myself. I don't care for appearances. I mean 
to have a game at leap-frog. Here is a string of boys at 
jit ; I shall join them. — Don't be so ridiculous. — I know 
lit is very absurd, but here goes. Down with your head, 
lyoung Sir. Come along Adolph. — Thank you, I will re- 
main with the ladies. — Then let me recommend you to 
[join those youngsters at a game of peg-top. I'll come di- 
jrectly and shew you how it ought to be done. I am first- 
jrate at peg-in-the-ring. — What a strange madcap he is. 
'Here he comes back. — Adolph, I insist on your joining 
jme in a game of coach-and-horses. I have got some twine 
jfrom one of my little play-fellows, I mean to be driver, 
iso submit like a good boy. — Why, you foolish man, you 
don't really mean to say that you are actually prepared to 
igo careering round the heath playing at horses like a 
jschool-boy? — Why, don't you? — Certainly not. — 
JThat's unfortunate, for I shall be reduced to something 
jless ambitious. My pretty damsel, will you lend me your 
iskipping rope for half a minute? Now, Adolph, I will rather 
(astonish you. — Charles ! Charles ! you are making your- 
self quite conspicuous. I never knew you so full of non- 
sense. You will attract everybody's attention and make us 
quite a spectacle. — Ah well, I don't want to involve you 
in any way, so I'll restrain my rampant hilarity. — Now 
come along quietly like a decent Christian , and don't in- 
dulge in any more of those extravagant vagaries. ■ — Let 
us summon'that man with the donkeys and hire a couple 
for the ladies. I see he has got side-saddles. — Thank 
you, I would rather remain on foot. If you like to engage 
jlone for yourself you are welcome to the treat. Don't let 
(us interfere with your gratification. I think I should like 
jio see you astride a donkey, especially if it became restive 
'.[and began to kick. — Stop a minute and watch those 
I youths playing at prisoners-bars. The little fellow in a 
'■ The English Echo. 



82 

green jacket is a very good runner. Hallo! there he goes 
heari-over-heels. Do you see him sprawling all his length 
on the turf? He has burst both the knees of his trowsers. 
There will be some work for his mother's darning needles 
when he gets home; and he will most likely catch a scold- 
ing for his carelessness. 

' 74. 

Adolph , I am going to the ironmonger's , and one or 
two other places , and if you will come with me we will 
drop into the reading-room at the club, on our way back.., 
— Agreed. 

I want a couple of padlocks and two keys to each.^ 
Do you keep fire-proof safes in stock? — Yes, Sir, we 
have some by each of the most celebrated makers. It must 
be a good size, for I have many papers and deeds to store 
away in it. — If you will come forward into the show- 
room you can choose your own size. — I have promised 
to buy my little boy a new pocket-knife; let me have one 
with three blades and an ivory handle. That will do. Let 
me have a pair of flat-bottomed brass candle-sticks with' 
extinguishers and snuffers to match. My wife has given 
me a list of household utensils which she wants. A meat- 
saw, a cleaver, a large sauce-pan, a brass-handled fire- 
shovel and pair of tongs , a funnel, a hundred of tin tacks 
and a basting spoon. You know what the last we obtained 
from you were like, and we shall want these as nearly as}; 
possible of the same description. I will leave the list with 
you. Good morning. • 

Have the goodness to measure me for a new pair of i, 
boots. — Do you want them strong or light? — They are 
for walking boots. — I want also a pair of patent leather 
dancing pumps. — I have finished the fishing boots you 
ordered. — You have made them double-soled, have you 
not? — Yes, Sir, and they are quite water-proof. — I have 
also a pair of slippers which your lady told me to make 






83 

i|up for her. — Oh they are fancy slippers in wool-work, 
jare they not? — They are. — You can send them all 
Jhome together. None of them are wanted in a hurry, I 
(believe. 

Can you fit me with a new hat? — I have no doubt of 
jit, Sir. Allow me to take the measure of the one you have 
Ion. — I will have a white hat, they are so very light and 
*ool, and the weather is now oppressively hot. — Is there 

anything else that I can sell you to-day, Sir? — Let me 

ave a felt broad-brim for the garden, you call them 
wide-awakes" I think; and a new opera-hat, and send 

hree or four play-caps for my wife to choose one from 
|for my son. — Shall I send him a straw-hat? — Yes, do 
so. That one trimmed with blue ribbon will suit him very 
well if it is the right size. 

Mr. V. v be good enough to send another Stilton cheese 

jo my house and a couple of pounds of good fresh butter. 

Let the cheese be ripe, perhaps I had better taste some. 

— Step in, Sir, I will get a scoop. This is a very good 
jheese. It is a Cheddar, and some people like it as well 
ks Stilton. — I think it is very nice. I will have that in- 
stead, and you may let us have a fresh cream-cheese as well. 

75. 

I shall buy a canary, and put it in this room. — Where 
do you mean to hang it? — I think the cage might be 
mspended in front of the bow-window, over that aquarium. 

— I cannot say that I am very partial to a canary. — 
Would the substitution of a parrot or a cockatoo coincide 
with your views? — Oh mercy! not on any account. I 
would not submit to the importation of such a vile scream- 
ing creature at any price. — We can try a nightingale 
J ;hen. — That would certainly be an improvement, if we 
'nust have any thing of the sort; but I confess that I should 

greatly prefer dispensing with the introduction of any bird. 
-They make such a litter and dirt by scattering their bird- 

6*^ 






seed about, and then, if you are engaged in conversation, 
they make such a dreadful din that they quite drown every 1 
body's voice, and you can hardly hear yourself talk. Be- 
sides, have we not plenty of pets already about the house?!. 
There is Rover, the large mastiff in the kennel in the back- 
yard, and Gipsey my lap-dog, and Snap your Scotch ter- 
rier; and then we have two cats, and the children have a 
dove-cot well stocked with pigeons, and a hutch crowded, D 
with rabbits and guinea-pigs. Unless you have set your 
heart on having a bird, I should object to such an addi-^ 
tion to the colony. — Let it be so then. It was only 
passing fancy, a whim of the moment, and there is grea( 
force in your reasoning. I think indeed we might very- 
sensibly diminish our present possessions by the slaughter^ 
of a few rabbits and pigeons for dinner. Their number isj 
becoming a nuisance, and I will give orders to have them 
decimated. — That reminds me that while you were out. 
yesterday, a present of game came from your brother vL 
Yorkshire. You should write to-day to acknowledge its. 
receipt, and thank him for it. — I will do so. "What did 
he send ? — A brace of pheasants , two brace of partrid- 
ges, and a hare. — He is very kind. He is a dead shot 
and a keen sportsman; so that his preserves keep us well, 
supplied. 

76. 

We are going to have a children's party to-nightj; 
Whither shall we go to escape from the racket ? — How 
do you generally amuse yourself on such occasions? — i|, 
stay and play with them; but you are not a father, anc^ 
cannot be expected to appreciate that sort of thing. — The, 
ladies will of course remain at home. — Oh yes, they will 
be mistresses of the ceremonies. I don't think my child- 
ren would agree to have a party, if their aunt Lucy die 
not preside. — Well then, if you will pardon me, I wiL 1 
stay also. I should regret being the cause of your enforced 



85 

Absence from the little folks, and it will be a new scene ior 
jme which I shall greatly enjoy. — You think you can 
knanage to be interested in these pigmy festivities? — I 
lam sure of it. — Then we will certainly join them. In the 
imean time , I will go to Covent Garden , to buy certain 
jfruits for the feast. — We will go together. 

This is Covent Garden Market. — I should have 
■guessed it from the enormous quantity of vegetables which 
! |I see in every direction. — We are now in the region of 
flowers and fruits. This is the booth where my wife selects 
her purchases. I want some fruit for to-night, Mr. Smith. 
— Will you walk in, Sir? — I can see what you have. 
J |You always make as good a show as possible at the win- 
dow. You may send me two pounds of grapes, that large 
]pine-apple, a basket of strawberries, a dozen apricots and 
& dozen peaches. — Will you not take some oranges, Sir? 
\ — If you have any real St. Michael's. — When your wife 
[ jwas last here, she wanted some truffles and I promised to 
e |let her know when I received any fresh ones. I have got 
^some very sweet ones now. — You can send some up then. 
"i — I shall want you to have a look at the green -house. 
The plants are many of them in a queer way, I fancy, and 
you may as well bring up two or three new specimens with 
you. I want the best heliotrope you can find, and two or 
three lady's-slippers, calceolarias, I think you call them. — 
I will come to-morrow, Sir. — Do so; send those things 
: directly, as they are wanting some of them now. You may 
add some vegetables, turnips, carrots and broccoli, for 
though they did not commission me to order them, I think 
they will most likely need them. — I can take them on 
approval. Sir. If Mrs. Gordon has no need of them, my 
messenger can bring them back again. 

It 

Adolph, where have you been all this time ? Oh, what 
j a magnificent bouquet! That'3 what you have been after, 

I 

! 
I 



86 

is it? I begin to see very clearly why you mean to be ati 
the children's party to-night. — I am glad you admire | 
the nosegay; I was just seeking you to ask your opinion. , 
Excuse me now for a minute. — I can go with you. I ! 
have finished my work. 

This posy will do very nicely. You will be good- 
enough to make another precisely like it, and send them* 
both to the address on that card. — Give me those two) 
white camellias. — Adolph, put that in your button-hole, |[ 
and come along. I have one or two other necessaries to»: 
obtain. 

There is a man here who is very useful on such oc- ( j 
casions. — It is a toy-shop. — Yes, you'll hear all about? 
it. I want to engage you for to-night, if you please. - 
Certainly, Sir, at what time? — Come about seven o'clock. 
— And what do you wish me to undertake? — Last time; 
you brought a magic lantern, I think. So if you will give? 
us some parlour magic, I think it will be a change and- 
amiise my little company. — I will be there in time, Sir* 
Good morning. — He will perform a lot of conjuring, 
tricks, and things of that kind, if the fun flags at all; but if! 
not, I shan't introduce him. Just wait while I step into thisi 
grocer's shop a minute*. I want to order some raisins and 
almonds. My wife has given me a tremendous quantity oi 
commissions this morning. 

Here comes an old acquaintance of mine, that lame 
man. He is an old sailor, who lost a leg and an arm in T 
action. I always make a point of giving him somethings 
every time I see him. The first time I saw him begging 1- 
enquired his history, and then verified it by subsequent! 
investigation. He is a very decent fellow, and has a pen- 
sion. — I thought that Greenwich Hospital was designedj 
for such people. — Yes , i>ut he has a family, which he/ 
could not take into the Hospital, so he prefers living asl 
well as he can out. As a general thing I do not assist the. 
beggars in the streets. There are so many impostors ana\ 



87 

they are so plausible, that if you bestow charity without 
an accurate knowledge of what you are doing, you are al- 
most certain to be swindled. They succeed in imitating 
the loss of an arm or a leg so closely that you would find 
it impossible to discern that they are not really cripples. 
— But if they are able-bodied paupers why do they not 
ii get work to do ? — Partly because work is scarce, partly 
< because they are very lazy, and don't much relish hard 
jj labour, and principally because begging is more remunera- 
tive. — That last statement is a joke, I presume. — By 
no means. A clever man will make systematic mendicancy 
pay better than close application at even skilled workman's 

! wages. 

78. 

Take care where you are going. I was afraid you 
would do that. — I did not see that chimney-sweep till he 
was close upon us, and then in my anxiety to avoid the 

l| soot-bag, I stepped over my shoe-tops in the gutter. — 
And they have been scraping the road so that I am afraid 

!| your foot has got wet. — I am sorry to say that this is a 

3 bad pair of shoes, and they let water in, but I can change 
my stockings directly we reach home. I am sorry to see 

I that I have splashed you with mud. Your trowsers and 
coat are both spotted with dirt. — It is of no importance, 
it will brush off very easily when it is dry. 

What a fine dog that is. — It is following that carriage. 
"Whose livery is it? — I think it belongs to Lord B. If we 
get a little nearer we can see the coat of arms on the 
panels and the crest on the harness , and then I shall pro- 
bably be able to tell you with certainty. 

I am fond of frequenting this second-hand book-shop. 
I sometimes pick up an odd volume or two very cheap. — 
What is the price of that copy of Mrs.Hemans' Poems? — 

Twelve shillings. There is a good copy of on that 

third shelf from the bottom. — The work in nine volumes 
bound in coloured calf with raised bands and gilt-lettered ? 



88 

— The same. Oh, here is a nice thing. What do you ask 
for this Shakspeare? — Five guineas, Sir; and it is dirt 
cheap at the money. It is the best edition, Knight's Pic- 
torial; and a very choice copy; quite clean, with early im- 
pressions of the plates. Then there is the life , which is 
rather rare; and it is gilt-edged and whole -bound in the 
best possible style, in real morocco with Shakspeare's arms 
stamped on the cover. — Still, I think five guineas is too 
high. — You are a very good customer, Sir, and so I will 
say four pounds nineteen to you; I won't take a penny 
less. — I will give you that. Send them to my house as 
soon as you can make it convenient. I shall be in a pre- 
dicament when I get home. My wife will give me a strange 
blowing up for this extravagance. I w r ill buy her a pearl 
neck-lace; I promised her one a week ago, and I might as 
well get it now, and so make my peace with her as to the 
Shakspeare. — Will you let me delay you one minute 
while I get some hosiery and haberdashery? — Certainly. 

— I want some collars, cravats, fronts, shirts, neckerchiefs 
and flannel vests. — Quite an outfit, I declare. When you 
have suited yourself with raiment we will make for home. 

— Don't commit puns. 



79. 



Now, Adolph, our young guests are all assembled. 
Shall we make our appearance? — If you please. — Why, 
you cannot call these children; some of them are almost 
men and women. — They vary according to the ages of 
my own children. They range from six to sixteen. — How 
very tastefully every thing is prepared. Who has been the 
ruling genius? — Either my wife or her sister. I fancy the 
latter, Lucy. — What a scene of merriment and confusion! 
— Follow me through the conservatory. We shall find 
about a score of them on the lawn in the garden. There 
they are, playing at all manner of things. Three of them 



89 

■ at battledoor and shuttle-cock and three or four more with 
(balls; there are two at "graces". — What are they doing 
jin that circle? — Where Lucy is with them? That is called 
[•"tierce". Shall we go inside again? — I think I should 
llike to join these little people and see if I can increase 
; their pleasure. — Work away, then; I've no doubt they 
| will soon indoctrinate you into the whole mystery of the 
^game. In the mean time I will join with these youngsters 
in what is euphoniously termed "cross-tig". 

Where are you two going? — Miss Neville begins to 
feel cold in the evening air, so we were going into the 
j drawing-room. — Surely you don't feel cold too; you have 
| been running about in such a style as I haven't seen 
I equalled lately. I did not think you were half so sprightly. 
| — I confess, I did enter into the spirit of the thing more 
than I had expected to do. — Why, you quite raised my 
| admiration and envy. — Mrs. Gordon, we are coming to 
jrest from our out-door exertions, and to relieve you par- 
jtially from the responsibility of presiding over this troop 
I of vivacious little creatures. — You are heartily welcome. 
We are just preparing for a game at blind-man's buff. You 
imust be very active, or you will be caught and blindfolded. 
— Here he comes. Be silent, and run about as quietly as 
possible. — Hush! you make so much noise; tread more 
softly. I think you had better take off your shoes, they 
creak so loudly. Put these slippers on. Now you will 
elude him with greater ease. Ha! see he has caught Lucy; 
they are going to blind her. — Stop! Stop! will Miss 
Neville allow me to be her substitute? — I am very much 
obliged to you, Sir, and though I do not like to victimise 
you, I think I shall close with your offer. — Will you 
] kindly bind the handkerchief round my eyes? — There 
now, can you see? — Not at all. — I believe the cunning 
fellow can get a glimpse under the bandage. — No, I can- 
not indeed. — Go a-head then. — Well done! I did not 
give you credit for such agility. Take care ! You are close 



90 



to the fire-place. — That's right; now you must guess who 
it is you have caught; and if you fail you will have to 
make a fresh attempt. 



80. 

We have tried this game long enough, what is the next 
thing to he done? — Let us join that knot of merry-makers 
in the corner, and see what they are laughing so eheerfully 
about. — They are asking riddles. — We will task our 
wits then. 

Why does a duck put its head under water? — I can- 
not see any extraordinary reason for such a procedure. — 
There are two good answers to that riddle. — Let us hear 
them then. — Firstly: for divers (diver's) reasons. Se- 
condly: to liquidate its bill. — Very good. That may fairly 
be called a double-barrelled riddle. 

Now for another. Why are stars the best astronomers? 
— I give it up. — Because they have studied (studded) the 
skies for thousands of years. 

I will give you a charade: 

First. Uncurbed and defiant, unconquered and free, 

I sweep in my might o'er the earth and the sea. 
I play with the ocean, I toy with the trees, 
I roar in the storm and I laugh in the breeze. 
No mortal my form or my features can tell, 
Or proclaim to the world where I regally dwell, 
Can show whence I come when forth rushing afar 
I summon my vassals to tumult and war. 

Second. Like a tyrant I reign o'er the whole of mankind, 
Till one of my subjects my victor I find. 
No sceptre I hold, but the empire I sway 
Is perfect o'er slaves who delight to obey. 
But time can destroy all my beauty and grace, 
And thus by degrees all my power efface; 
Unless to my victor by truth I can prove 
How lasting and firm is the empire of love. 



91 

Whole. Keep my whole in constant motion 
Trip the active feet along. 
See! the anchor cleaves the ocean, 
Raise the loud and jocund song. 
Now it rises and the gale 
Quickly fills the fluttering sail. 

That is very easy. I see the answer to it. It is wind- 
lass. — I know one very much like that, but it is also 
very easy to guess. — Let us have it. 

First. From my throne high exalted, majestic I look 

On the mountain, the valley, the desert, the brook. 

With a pitying eye, omnipresent I view 

Man's sin and conceit, and his misery too. 

With an ardent and life-giving glance, I embrace 

The half of earth's varied and beautiful face; 

And by turns I forsake and enliven the whole 

Of nature's vast scene from the zone to the p©le. 

Second. My first is the cause of my being and birth, 
And I follow him ceaselessly over the earth. 
See! he comes o'er the hills, and the arch of the skies 
Is filled with the peans of joy that arise 
From the songsters that welcome me back to my home, 
Whence again, in a few fleeting hours, I must roam, 
With my first to revisit the climes we have left 
For a time of their life and their vigour bereft. 

Whole. Hail! eldest-born and sweetest of the seven! 

Thou boon most precious to the sons of the earth. 
A rest from sin-born toil, — a guide to heaven — 
To weary man a pearl of priceless worth. 
Oh that no sinner would thy gifts refuse 
And thy blest hours with wickedness abuse. 

I can solve that at once. It is Sun-Day. — Can any 
one else remember a charade? — Yes, I know one more 
difficult than the last. 

81. 

My first is found upon the swelling deep; — 
Wild, dreary, lone. 



92 

And o'er the solitude a watch doth keep, 

Where waters moan. 
My second is an insect, lives on land; — 

Patience and forethought 
Are its true features, — wonderful and grand, — 

By nature taught. 
No vessel floats on sea; — no bird in air 

On breezes nursed; — 
By causes else than that my whole they are: 

And e'en my first 
Must be my whole its station to retain. 

The bloom of weeds, 
Borne by each zephyr slowly o'er the plain, — 

The bee that speeds 
On fairy, gauzy wing from flower to flower, — 

The mind of man 
When cheerful and most, gay, — all feel the power 

Of what I am. 

That last rhyme of man and am is incorrect, bnt the 
charade is a good one. I think I have discovered its solu- 
tion. — Have you ? I cannot make it out. — It is buoy- 
ant Is it not? — Yes. 

Somebody propose another conundrum. — Why is a 
hedge like a country carrier? — I confess that I am 
puzzled with that. — Because it is a sloe (slow) bearer. — 
What is the most appropriate language for bachelors? — 
The Singhalese (Single- ease), — Oh, shocking! You must 
give us another for having dared to perpetrate such an 
enormity. — Well then. I will discharge my debt by ask- 
ing ; — When is a malicious action like lava? — I give it up. 
— When it arises from a pique (peak). — Let us change 
the amusement. 

We will try our luck at hunt-the-slipper. — You are 
the last comer. You must get into the centre of the circle 
and we shall sit all round you on the floor. Now try and 
find out where the slipper is. If you succeed in detecting 
it, the person with whom you find it, takes your place and 



93 

if you make a mistake in guessing, you will have to pay a 
forfeit. 

We will now redeem the forfeits and then the conjurer 
shall exhibit some of his tricks, after which we will have 
supper, and it will be nearly time to break up for the even- 
ing. I am not an advocate for teaching young people bad 
habits by keeping them up too late. 



Adolph, will you join us in a rubber of whist? — With 
pleasure. — Change places with me, you must sit here. 
Mrs. Gordon will be your partner. It is your deal. — 
Spades are trumps. — Very good. I lead. Now Lucy we 
shall need to have all our wits well about us. We have to 
beat two very good players. Very good indeed, a beautiful 
finesse. — Clubs again! ha, it is trumped, I feared so. — 
Will you please to draw your card ? — The queen of hearts. 
— It is against me then, I trump it. — Oh they have it 
all their own way this hand. They have made the odd 
trick already. — No we have only secured six. — Now 
you have it. — Yes, that will give it to us. — We must 
hope to make a better fight next time. How many do you 
score? — Two by honours and three by cards. — It is my 
deal now. — That is excellent; the ace turned up for the 
trump card. — Lucy leads. — The ace of spades; very 
prosperous indeed. King of spades! good again. Queen 
of spades! beautiful ; I renounced last time, so they are sure 
to have plenty in their hands. Knave of spades ! This will 
be once too often I fear. Trumped! I expected so. And 
trumped high too. The queen. Well I must play the king 
then. Ace of trumps. What a singular trick! The three 
best cards of the pack down on a knave of spades. I don't 
think the play was very good on either side then. — The 
game is altogether against us. — Honours are divided and 
we are three by tricks. — You are eight and we are no- 
thing, — Yes, we are at calling-point. Whose deal is it? — 



94 

My partner's, I think. I will deal for you, Lucy. — Thank 
you. — Now, Mrs. Gordon, it is your lead. — Stop a 
minute. Partner, can you one? — Yes. — Then the game 
is finished. I have the king and knave. — And I have the 
queen. — Two by honours then. We are out. The first 
rubber is ours. We will just play one more rubber at short 
whist to give you your revenge. — These cards do not 
slide well. I cannot handle them easily. Give me a fresh 
pack. That will be better. Now, with a fresh pack we shall 
perhaps have fresh luck, and conquer. — Shuffle then, and 
I will cut. — What is that trump card? — The deuce of 
diamonds. — It is your turn to play. 

83. 

I have heard to-day of a most distressing occurrence. 
One of the largest Banks in the city has stopped payment. 
Tt was a very old-established house, and enjoyed a first- 
rate reputation. The news came like a thunder-clap on the 
commercial world. — Are its liabilities very great? — Im- 
mense, and I am grieved to add that there are but faint 
hopes of securing a respectable dividend. — The conse- 
quences will be exceedingly disastrous. — I have already 
been informed of some heart-rending instances. Hundreds 
of people will suffer and many will be reduced to absolute 
beggary. The most painful part of the story is that suspi- 
cions of foul play amongst the managing directors are very 
rife ; and several parties of great wealth and influence are 
implicated in the transaction. — You said that the event 
was unexpected. — Totally; I was completely astounded \ 
by the intelligence and could hardly credit it at first. I 
had about two thousand pounds deposited there a month 
ago, but luckily I withdrew it a short time before the crash. 

— You were not prepared for this contingency, I suppose. 

— Not at all, it was merely by chance that my money was 
otherwise invested. There was not even a doubt in my 
mind of the solvency of the concern. — Did you learn 



95 

what was the supposed cause of the failure? — They have 
been for a long time in very great straits, but they suc- 
ceeded in concealing their condition from the public; and 
in order to restore themselves, they embarked very unwar- 
rantably in some speculations with which they had no right 
to meddle. These turned out unpropitiously, and the bank 
was irretrievably ruined. — Are the debts ascertained ? — 
Not exactly, but it is feared that they will amount to nearly 
two millions, while the assets will not altogether cover 
twenty thousand pounds. — What is the general character 
of those who will have to bear the loss ? — Many of them 
are individuals of moderate income whose en-tire property 
was there invested. — Let us hope that the mischief has 
been exaggerated. — I have no doubt that such is the case, 
but the extent of the evil will nevertheless be very great. 

— Have any steps been taken to apprehend the most cul- 
pable parties? — Several of them are already in custody, 
but the authorities have hitherto failed in seizing the prin- 
cipal offender. I heartily hope he will be brought to 
justice. 

84. 

This evening we shall go to the musical party at Lady 
D.'s. By the bye, you have issued all the invitations for 
our ball, have you not? — Yes, and we have received most 
of the replies. — Are most of our friends coming? — 
Mr. H. is out of town. He has gone to the Continent on 
business and will not return in time for the ball, but his 
sisters will come. — Is the eldest married yet? There was 
a little dandy paying his addresses to her a month or two 
back, but I never heard the resiilt. — He turned out to be 
merely an adventurer, and he jilted her most abominably 
because her fortune was not as large as he had been led to 
expect. — They should sue him for a breach of promise. 

— He is not worth powder and shot. They are only tbo 
glad to have got rid of him. — Who was that tall gawky 



96 

girl I saw with them at the concert the other night? — I 
don't know, she was a stranger to me. I must not forget 
to remind you, that you must get some wine soon. There 
is only a cask of red wine, and about five and twenty i 
bottles of white in the cellar. — I will see the vintner 
to-day. 

What makes that cat mew so dreadfully? — She only 
wants you to take some notice of her. Caress her a little, 
and she will hold her tongue. — How loudly she purrs i 
when she is stroked. Poor pussy! I wish she was a little 
more wide awake. I heard a rat gnawing in that cupboard' 
last night. 

I wish you would send me some kid-gloves home, if 
you are going past C.'s shop. He knows my size. — Andr 
if you will put me in the way to negociate a bill of ex-: 
change which I have received from Germany, you will do 
me a service. — Has it been endorsed? — It has, and it> 
is payable at sight, so I will draw the money at once. • 
We will lounge out to the reading-room and cash your: 
bill on the way. I have an engagement at my attorney's: 
at twelve o'clock. I want to compromise an action which 
I have brought against a person who has played me falser 
in business. I find he is only a man of straw, and it is noli 
use to prosecute him. It is but throwing away good money 
after bad. 

You will be expected to do wonders in the singing I 
way to-night, so that we must return in time to give youi 
some practice in your scales. — Oh, we will dispense 
with that. 

85. 

I am urged to ask you to sing a German song. — I 
shall be glad to exert myself to the utmost for the gratifi- 
cation of your friends, but I am not in good voice to-night. 
I am as hoarse as a crow. — Never mind ; I know how 
splendidly you sing, and I am sure you will acquit yourseli 



97 

i 

{admirably in spite of your sore throat. — What shall I 

£ tempt? — Sing us that beautiful song of Mendelssohn's 
hich you gave us the other night. — Very good. May I 
\m so troublesome as to request Miss Lucy to accompany 
lime? — I shall have great pleasure in doing so if I am 
able, but I do not read music with facility at first sight, so 
■jjthat if the accompaniment is at all difficult of execution I 
shall riiin your singing with my bad playing. — I will 
rjwillingly dare that risk. 

Bravo! Thank you, Adolph. An exquisite song, and 
ikery feelingly and spiritedly sung. — Thank you, Miss 
[Neville. The greater part of the credit is due to the pianist 
ilfor covering my blemishes so skilfully. — Mr. B. has kindly 
(promised a new patriotic song. — Mendelssohn's music is 
[very charming. — It is so indeed, but Mozart is my favorite 
icomposer. — Are you fond of operatic music ? — Very. 
Jpon Giovanni is my especial delight. I wish I could pre- 
vail on you to take the soprano in that sweet duet "La ci 
•flarem". — I will try it, if you will take the tenor. — 
t!A.greed. We will stay a short time, and then I will seize 
an opportunity of inserting it. — That gentleman has a 
jjfine bass voice. — I think it is hardly low enough to be 
called bass. It is rather a baritone, and some of his notes 
<are very pure indeed. — The counter is a little fiat in that 
glee, particularly in the high notes; it spoils the effect 
caltogether, if the harmony is not perfectly preserved. — 
;True; he sings from his head and not from his chest. 
- That young lady is a very clever pianist, her execution 
of those arpeggios would do credit to a professional player; 
it is very seldom that you find an amateur who can master 
those rapid movements with such apparent ease. 

. 86. 

Was that you I heard tumbling about the vestibule? — 
I lament to say it was, I stumbled against the door mat 
and then could hardly recover my balance. — The floor 

; The English Echo. 7 



98 

of the corridor is very slippery, I bade them put the oil- 
cloth down again. They have been forced to take it up, on, 
account of the plumbers who have been tampering with the^ 
gas-fittings. I hope you have not hurt yourself. — Why, I 
twisted my foot with such a sudden jerk that I have 
sprained my ancle. — I am grieved to hear it. Take this, 
lotion and foment the ailing part. If you use the proper 
remedies at once you will in all probability save yourself, 
much pain. I will send you a cotton roller bandage toi 
wrap your damaged limb in when you have finished rub- 
bing it with the spirits of hartshorn. Go gently up stairs, 
the less trouble you give it now, the less it will cause you 
afterwards. — I fear this will stop my walking for a day 
or two. 

My dear, Doctor S. told me he would call to-day to 
vaccinate the two children. — I am glad to hear it, I dis- 
like to have it procrastinated. What time may I expect 
him? — He will take us in his regular rounds. I suppose 
you may reckon on his being here some time before two 
o'clock. — That reminds me that I want you to leave my 
watch with Mr. P. I don't know what is the matter with it 
but it has indulged in the most unseemly freaks. Some- 
times it gains an hour or two in the day, and sometimes it 
loses that much, occasionally it stops altogether for half a 
day, and then starts again of its own accord. — Have you 
wound it up regularly? — Quite so, but I imagine the 
main-spring is broken. — That cannot be the case or it 
would not go at all. I should be inclined to guess that it 
wanted cleaning and regulating. Is there anything else 1 
can attend to at the jeweller's? — Yes, he has a bracelet 
of mine and a necklace of Lucy's which ought to be ( 
repaired now. The last time we were there together we 
bought a locket for a present for Lucy, and he has to put 
your hair and mine into it. I should think that is ready by, 
this time. 

Shall we subscribe to the Art-U'nion again this year? 



99 

— By all means, we got a prize in the raffle last time, so 
j we cannot resist the temptation to try our luck again. Be- 
• sides, they have promised a superb engraving for this 
year's distribution. If you have time to step on to the 
office, I wish you would do so and pay the subscription at 
once. I have a superstition that the earliest names get the 
majority of the prizes. — It was not so this year, for all 
the successful numbers were high ones. — Mind you don't 
get an even number. "There's luck in odd numbers". — 
What a whimsical creature you are. But I will do my best 
to suit your peculiar fantastic notions. 

I have been receiving instructions in luck and chance. 

— Now you are laughing in your sleeve at me; but I can- 
not divest myself of my nursery fancies. I know they are 
not philosophical, and perhaps not even sensible, but they 
are so implanted in my mind, that I cannot readily pluck 
them out. 

87. 

What arouses your critical admiration in my wife's Al- 
bum? — Some flower painting and landscape drawing I 
see here. Is it Mrs. Gordon's own handiwork? — That 
view of the opening of the Peak Cavern was painted by 
Lucy, I think. — I was not aware she was such a profi- 
cient. There is very great genius displayed in the sketch. 

— You know that the picture on the opposite wall framed 
in maple and gold was done by her? — "Was it really? I 
could not have believed it. There is a fearlessness of 
design which ladies very seldom manifest, and yet it pos- 
sesses all the delicacy of touch which I should have been 
led to expect. — Lucy, Mr. Hiller is just comparing you 
to Michael Angelo. — Contrasting me, you mean. — Your 
drawings do you great credit. — They are miserable 
scratches and daubs. I have long lost all patience with 
them and I have forsworn art. — Shocking! you really 
ought to be ashamed of yourself. To waste so much in- 

7* 



400 

diibitable talent is most reprehensible. — Mr. Hiller, you 
are an artist, 1 believe. — A very humble one; I know the 
rudimentary principles of the craft, and that is about all. — 
You speak modestly of your own attainments, but I shall 
beg you to put me into a position to form an impartial 
opinion of my own as to your limning talent. — What test 
do you purpose applying? — I shall prevail on you to 
sketch me my husband's lodgings at Bonn, when you and 
he lived together so many years ago and alarmed all the 
staid people with your improper ways. — Adolph, there is 
a deep-seated scheme to extract evidence from you on that 
subject. Be on your guard for your own sake. M\j virtue 
was always so immaculate that I need only ask you to ad- 
here to the truth as far as I am concerned; but you were 
a little wild, you will remember. — Well, that is abomin- 
able! I'll launch out a volley of accusation, if you abuse 
me in that insidious style. — Don't recriminate. We had 
better tramp. The rain is holding off at present, but it looks 
doubtful, and we are likely to have foul weather. We had 
better take advantage of this gleam of sunshine. — The J 
vane on the church steeple points steadily to a favorable 
quarter. — Yes; because the weather-cock is out of order 
and has got fixed. It has not moved with any of the late 
variations of the wind. You will see that the smoke from 
that factory chimney is blowing in altogether a different 
direction. — So it is. 



You have had a great variety of our scenes and customs f 
unfolded to you, but I have not yet initiated you into that 
which is perhaps our most distinctive characteristic. — To 
what do you refer? — You have seen nothing of our 
business associations, our commercial world. — I have 
promised myself a great treat in observing that phase of 
English life. — To-day I will carry you into the tiirmoil 
of the city. I have several weighty and pressing engage- 



404 

ments which we will attend together, and I will subse- 
quently take you to view other and similar scenes. We 
shall firstly repair to my solicitor's. 

Is Mr. Benson in? — Yes, Sir, but he is engaged just 
now with a client. He will be at liberty immediately. — 
Has Mr. P. been here this morning? — No, Sir. You mean 
the broker, do you not? — Yes. I had appointed to meet 
him here at this hour to settle the purchase of some rail- 
way debentures. — I see him crossing the street. Mr. 
Benson is now disengaged. You will have the kindness to 
walk into his' office. 

Good morning, Sir. This is a friend of mine from Ger- 
many, Mr. Hiller. I presume the transfer of the stock can 
now be completed* — Every thing is prepared, Sir. — 
That was a very fortunate hit of yours, Mr. Gordon. The 
shares which you purchased at par have already gone up 
six per cent and there is a good demand for them on 
change at that advance. — I shall retain them a little 
longer. I have reason to believe that they will get up still 
higher. — You will be good enough to sign your name 
opposite to this seal , and your friend will perhaps attest 
the execution of the document. — I will give you a check 
on my bankers for the amount. Perhaps you would not 
object to receive this bill of exchange in part payment. It 
is drawn on Messrs. D. & B. — Have they accepted it? 
— They have. I will indorse it. — It is payable in four- 
teen days; therewill be some discount to calculate. — I 
have allowed for that. Cast your eye over this paper. I 
think you will find that this statement is correct. — Per- 
fectly so, and the bill is drawn upon such a wealthy house 
that it is quite negotiable. I would as soon have it as 
cash. — I have a little more floating capital which I should 
be glad to invest on some good seourity. — I think I 
know of something which I can recommend to you, but I 
will inquire more fully and correspond with you on the 
subject. 



102 

The next matter is the mortgage. Are you still wish- 
ful to call in the money as you hinted to me ? — I think 
I can get a higher rate of interest for it than it bears at 
present. — In the present state of the money market you 
certainly could do so, but you will have to give six months* 
notice to the mortgagee of your intention. — Then I will 
trouble you to draw up a formal notice to that effect , and 
I will sign it at once. — I have one drawn in blank which 
I will fill up. Here it is. 

89. 

The conveyance of the leasehold house and premises 
in John Street is to be completed to-day. — Yes, the 
vendor is now waiting in the next room. — I will just run 
through the deed. — The purchase-money is part of your 
wife's fortune, and the trustees of the marriage settlement 
are therefore parties to the assignment. — I have desired 
them to execute the deed, and they will visit you for that 
purpose in the course of the day. There is nearly two 
thousand pounds more of her portion lying idle. I wish 
you could find me some safe means of disposing of it to 
advantage. — I have an abstract of the title to a very 
valuable freehold property on which the owner wishes to 
raise about that sum, and as your cash is immediately avail- 
able , I think it would be the very thing. — I wish you 
would send the particulars of it to Mr. H. He is the acting 
trustee under the settlement, and I am sure he will give the 
matter the most prompt and careful consideration. — I 
will see to it at once and get the matter out of hand with 
the least delay practicable. — All the covenants absolutely 
necessary appear to be inserted. I assent to the deed in 
its present form, and we can therefore complete the trans- 
action at once. — I will call in Mr. N. — Good morning, 
Sir. We are now prepared to hand over the purchase- 
money for your property. 

I am glad to hear it. The deeds have been a long time 



103 

fin band. — There was great difficulty in overcoming some 
(of the preliminary objections to the title. The conditions 
j of sale were of such a nature that we were compelled in 
'self-defence to insist on the most rigid oompliance with 
lour requisitions. — Every thing is now settled to the satis- 
faction of your client? — Yes; the way is now smooth, and 
j on your execution of these deeds you shall be put in pos- 
session of the purchase-money. — There are some arrears 
of interest due to me in consequence of the delay in con- 
cluding this matter. — I have made the requisite calcula- 
tions and inserted the price in the indenture. I have added 
interest at five per cent from the \ 4th of last month, and 
j then I have deducted the sum which was paid by way of 
I deposit on the agreement for sale at the auction. The 
j result is that we have to pay you the sum you will find 
stated in that account. — I think you have made a.n error 
I in your subtraction. Oh, no ! I see it is my mistake ! You 
| are quite correct. — Here is a check for fifteen hundred 
pounds and bank-notes for the odd money. — I must sign 
close to this seal I suppose? — You will see where I have 
marked your initials in pencil. Put your finger on the seal 
and say: "I deliver this as my act and deed". That is 
right. Now if you please , you will sign the receipt on the 
back. Mr. Hill er and I will witness your signatures. There 
is the money, I think if you count it you will find it cor- 
rect. — It is so , Sir. Thank you. Good morning. — I 
congratulate you, Mr. Gordon. You have made a very 
good bargain. The property is abundantly worth all you 
have given for it, and it is in a very improving neighbour- 
hood. I think that in a few years , you will find that you 
have cause to thank your stars for this morning's work. — 
Nothing remains but for me to discharge your bill for 
professional advice, which I shall be glad to do as soon as 
you will make it out and favour me with it. You will not 
forget to forward to Mr. H. the papers you were speaking 
of. — I will set the matter on foot at once.

90. 



We will now adjourn to my counting-house in the city. 
I must see how things are proceeding there. 

These are my premises. — Does this large warehouse 
belong to you? — To me and my partner. He is a very 
assiduous and talented man. When I succeeded my father 
in the concern, he was head-cashier at a high salary. He 
knew far more about the working of the business than I 
did, and I gave him a share in it in order to secure his 1 
services permanently. I have never regretted the step ; on 
the contrary, I believe it to have been the wisest thing I 
could do. He is a man of the most unflagging and indomi- 
table energy, and has doubled the receipts in the last three 
years. — He is very valuable to you. — He is my right- 
hand man; I should be altogether lost without him. He 
has however no capital of bis own , and therefore he can- 
not afford to quarrel with me. This is my private office. 
Mr. S., ask Mr. Wilson to do me the favour to step this \ 
way. 

Mr. Wilson, this is a friend of mine who desires the 
honour of your acquaintance. My partner, Mr. Wilson. — 
I am glad to be introduced to you, Sir. — Are things going ' 
on prosperously, Mr. Wilson? — First-rate, could not be 
better. We have a large consignment of cochineal just 
come in, in time for the unexpected rise. We shall clear 
cent per cent by it. — Have you succeeded in getting in 
any portion of W.'s debt? — The whole of it. He was so 
frightened at the strong language I used that he made a 
great effort, and scraped together the whole amount, for 
fear we should spoil his credit. — I am rejoiced to hear it, 
for I thought that would be a bad debt. — I was afraid the 
case was hopeless, and he is awfully embarrassed, I think. 
It is asserted that he is in such very low water that I don't 
know how he ever contrived to pay us. — Have you any- 
thing else to report? — There is a heavy acceptance which 



105 

| fell due yesterday, and which has just been returned to me 
j dishonoured, but fortunately it was indorsed to us by a 
I very respectable house, so that we are safe. I have re- 
! ceived intelligence that the Niobe has been signalled. She 
■I is a good deal after her time, and I was alarmed lest some 
accident had happened to her. It seems she has had very 
j bad weather on her passage home , and has been battered 
a good deal in some severe storms, but the cargo is thought 
j to be uninjured. I shall know all about it to-morrow. 
j I am rather anxious, because three-fourths of her lading is 
! ours, and if the water has penetrated to her hold, it will 
! be some hundreds of pounds out of our pockets. — Have 
i you made up the profit and loss account of the past year? 
I — Not quite; a few items remain to be posted up from the 
i day-book into the ledger, before I can revise the balance- 
sheet; but I can make a rough estimate of the year's pro- 
ceeds. — What do you augur will be the total? — I won't 
commit myself to figures, but I can foresee that it will be 
the best year we have had since I have been in the firm. 
You will be more than satisfied when I have reduced it 
into a shape to lay before you. ■ — Urge the cashier to 
make all possible despatch, for I am very curious to know 
exactly how we stand. 

91. 

Now, if you will arouse yourself, we will pursue our 
course. This is our counting-house. That is the strong- 
room. It is both fire -proof' and thief- proof. One night 
some burglars attacked it, and apparently left no stone un- 
turned to effect their object. They were disturbed while at 
their work, and they ran away so precipitately that all their 
lock-picking implements were left behind. They were amply 
supplied with tools. When they failed to pick the lock, they 
tried to blow it open with gun -powder, for we saw the 
traces of the blaze next morning. — Did they succeed in 
their audacious attack? — Not at all. Nor was the lock 



406 

hurt in the slightest degree. These are invoices. This is a 
file of orders which still remain to be executed. Here we 
keep the bills that come for acceptance, and in this drawer 
are those which are accepted by other firms. — You 
require a multitude of clerks. — Yes; there is one seat 
vacant. Whose desk is this? — Mr. Fisher's, Sir. — Is he 
ill? — He has gone to be married. — Oh, I had not been 
informed that he was so near matrimony. Does he tie the 
knot to-day? — Yes, Sir. — I sincerely wish him all hap- 
piness. Mr. Wilson, a word with you in private. What 
character does Mr. Fisher, the corresponding clerk, bear? 
— He is a deserving and pains-taking man; indefatigable in 
his attention to the interests of the firm. — Can he support 
a wife on his present salary? — He may do so, but it will 
be a close shave. He will not be in absolute penury, but he I 
will be constantly struggling, and if he should be disabled 
by illness he will be in a very critical position. — Then, if" 
the proposition meets with your approval, I should be dis- 
posed to make him an unsolicited advance. If we are in 
prosperity and affluence , we must not doom to adversity 
and misery the men whose efforts have elevated us to the 
rank we hold. — It is four years since his salary was in- 
creased, and I have no doubt he will apply to me on the 
subject ere long. I think I had better disclose to you 
something which will cause you the liveliest dissatisfaction. 
I was only made aware of it yesterday, and I have not 
even yet tracked it conclusively home. I fear however that 
my suspicions will be backed by irresistible evidence. — 
You speak mysteriously, what can you mean? — M\'< 
promissory note for £250, signed apparently by your- 
self in the name of the firm, has been to-day presented to 
me for payment by the holder of it. I detected the forgery 
in an instant, and a reference to our books most decisively 
showed that there was not the slightest trace of any such " 
transaction as the note professed to disclose. My only dif- 
ficulty was to fix on the perpetrator of the fraud, and I: 



407 

i 

jam very much grieved to say that I am afraid our head- 
j cashier is the culprit. — I can scarcely believe my ears. 
.A man of his seeming respectability, and long-tried fidelity; 
one who has grown grey in the service of my father and 
[myself, and in whom we have placed such unwavering 
reliance. That he should be a thief ... I cannot credit it. 
I would wager any odds that you must be misled; nothing 
hut the most irrefragable proofs shall convince me of his 
dishonesty . — I could not at first persuade myself he was 
jguilty, but circumstances of a most suspicious. nature have 
(accumulated till I am compelled to own that appearances 
are dreadfully against him. — It is our duty to investigate 
(the matter fully, but I solemnly aver that I would rather 
lose the money than discover that so valued a servant is 
(Capable of so gross a dereliction from virtue. — 1 have 
put a detective officer in possession of the facts , and he 
'hopes to unravel the mystery very speedily. We shall be 
relieved from all doubts in a day or two. 

92. 

I take it for granted you mean to be at the ball to- 
inight. — Yes, I have secured vouchers for the whole party. 

Are you addicted to that species of dissipation? — No; 
I seldom disport myself in a ball-room. I don't dance 
well, and I don't want to dance any better than I do. The 
fact is I look upon it as a nuisance instead of a recreation. 
My wife is very fond of it, and therefore I sentence myself 
occasionally to the bore of the thing for her sake; but for 
jmy part I cannot see any fun in it. — It is a very cheer- 
ful amusement, and not only graceful but healthy. — True; 
but if you merely want exercise , leap-frog would answer 
the purpose and is certainly less complex. I cannot re- 
member all the intricacies of the different figures. There 
is no end to the advance and retreat, "ladies'-chain", "set 
3 to corners" and "turn partners". My head gets fairly be- 
wildered with such jargon. — There is no such complied- 



108 

tion in a waltz. — No ; but you have to spin round till you 
feel as if you were in the middle of a whirlpool; unless . 
you are in such constant practice that your brain will stand 
it. I like a good steady polka better than anything. There 
is not much science in it, and you can't very well get i 
wrong because there is no figure. — Then you will be : 
among the wall-flowers to-night, I suppose. — Oh no! 7 
When I am in the room I get seized with the prevailing , 
epidemic and I perform in my own original style, but it is I 
remarkably eccentric, I assure you. I never shall shine as i 
an accomplished waltzer I know. 

It is time for us to sally forth. You are clad and armed \ 
for conquest, that's clear. Really, Adolph, those patent 1 
leathers are the most refulgent specimens of shoe-making - 
art I ever saw. Lucy, I engage you for the first half of i 
the dances; my dear, I shall honour you during the last i 
half. — Indeed you will do no such thing. You are such ) 
a wretched dancer that I won't have anything to do with 
you. — Here we are at the scene of action. Screw up 
ypur nerves, we shall encounter some of the prettiest wo- 
men in London. Let us quietly sidle through the crowd. < 
I see the hostess looming in the distance; I will present!, 
you and then you may follow your own devices. — I think jj 
I recognize that face. I am sure I have met that young 1 
lady previously, but I cannot recall when or where. — I i 
can't jog your memory, for she is a stranger to me. 

93. 

May I have the honour of dancing with you? — I am 
engaged two deep, Sir, thank you. — The third is a waltz; < 
may I claim you for that dance? — I shall have great j 
pleasure, Sir. ] 

I am come to remind you of your promise to stand up 
with me in this waltz. — It is the Cellarius, is it not? — 
No, the O'lga. — Ah! that is the Queen of Waltzes. They 
are beginning. You are right, it is my favorite, the O'lga. 



109 

I forewarn you, Sir, that I am a poor waltzer, and I shall 
ruin your dancing reputation. — Oh, I am very willing to 
! run the risk. The music is rather too slow. — They do 
I not keep perfect time, I think. — No, they are somewhat 
irregular. Are you fond of dancing? — Some kinds of 
dancing I like very much, but I am not much used to 
waltzing. I begin to feel rather dizzy already. — I will 
j conduct you to a seat if you will allow me. — Thank you, 
j Sir, I am afraid I have spoilt your enjoyment. — Far from 
lit, I assure you; and to prove my sincerity, I beg you will 
allow me to lead you out in the next quadrille. — I shall 
i cheerfully endeavour to make you some reparation for this 
j mishap. I will hold myself pledged for the Lancers. — 
I — In the mean time will you take my arm. A turn or two 
in the conservatory will quite restore you. — The room is 
becoming rather close. — Allow me to offer you some re- 
freshment. — Thank you, I should like a lemon ice. — 
I There is a large assemblage to-night. — There is indeed, 
and many of the guests are celebrated persons. — LadyD. 
is famous for giving splendid balls. — I never saw a more 
brilliant party than the present. — Were you at the Queen's 
j drawing-room last week? — No I had not the honour to 
| be invited. — The crowd was very great. In fact it was 
I too large for comfort. "We were so squeezed that it was 
quite oppressive. — I was told that such was the case; I 
j understand that much fault has been found with the ar- 
I rangements. — And not unreasonably. 

May I take the liberty of inquiring whether you have 
| not a brother in the Guards? — I have. He is captain in 
j the 2nd regiment. — I thought he was a relative of yours. 
! I had the pleasure of dining with him a month ago in 
! Paris. He strongly resembles you and I was struck with 
the likeness immediately I saw you. — He is now on ser- 
vice. He went away with his regiment about a fortnight 
ago. — He is a very agreeable and talented man, and was 
a great favorite with all who knew him. — I can readily 



110 

believe that; I am very proud of him I can assure you. — ; 
He is quite an acquisition on any festive occasion. When- 
ever I met him he was the life and soul of the party. 

94. 

I see a gentleman coming this way to whom I pledged , 
myself for this polka. — I must resign you then, but I; 
shall hunt you up for the Lancers which is next on the? 
programme. — I shall be ready to fulfil my engagement. i 

Adolph, enlighten me. Who is that pretty girl you were 
waltzing with just now? — The young lady who has just 1 
quitted me? — Yes, she is now in the custody of that talli 
fellow with the moustache. — She is the sister of a young' 
soldier I met on the Continent; I was introduced by a 
mutual friend. Her name is R. — What? any connexion 
with the banker? — Yes; his daughter. — Well, she is a 
remarkably fine woman. Aren't you nearly exhausted? I 
declare I have been whirling about till I don't precisely 
know whether I am standing on my head or my heels. — 
Oh, you are the right side up, don't fear. Take a glass of; 
wine and you'll regain your equilibrium almost miracu- 
lously. — I doubt the perfect wisdom of your counsel butt 
I'll accept it nevertheless. — I noticed that you were hard: 
at work just now. — I had a spirited little partner who 
was desperately fond of it, and she bolted with me. I 
thought she would have killed me before I had done with; 
her. I wouldn't give in, but I think I never revolved oni 
my axis so long and so rapidly in all my life. — I confess! 
I was astounded at the murderous pace you kept up. You' 
distanced all competitors, but you will allow me to say: 
that your style is more energetic than graceful. — To be 
sure, I don't relish your methodical kind of dancing. I 
like to get up the steam and be in downright earnest while, 
I am about it. "Whatever is worth doing at all is worth i 
doing well." — A very good proverb; but before I grant] 
the application, I should ask for your sense of the word I 



Ill 

••well". — I declare, here is a man asking for definitions 

in a ball-room. Mercy 00 at] You cold-blooded animal: 
have some more wine ami don't argue, 1 shall rattle off 
again. If I can timl my last partner, I'll challenge her 
again as a mere feat of daring. — Go along thru, hut mind 
1 prophesy she'll beat you as sure as fate. — Well, 1 .-hall 
get the exercise at all events and violent exercise too. 
There; they are just making up the sets for the Lancers. — 
Indeed! then I must not rest on my oars any longer. 

1 am punctual you see. The Master of the Ceremonies 
is waiting to give us a place, and the musicians have struck 
the introductory chords. Do you admire this dance or the 
Caledonians most? — I think I should award the palm to 
the latter. 

95. 

My dear friend, I wish to speak to you on a subject of 
the very greatest importance, and one in which you are 
personally interested. You know that I was left an orphan 
at a very early period of my life, and from the time that I 
reached my majority I have been in the uncontrolled pos- 
session of a tolerable fortune. It is not necessary for me 
to descend to minute detail; you know my position and 
character as well as any man can do and better than any 
body else does. — My dear Adolph, what does this ser- 
mon portend; unless you want to borrow some money, I 
don't see how I am personally interested in all this? — 
Have a little patience and you will hear. I am confident 
that you have some inkling of my reason for thus address- 
ing you, because you have so often rallied me on my 
evident partiality for your sister-in-law, that I feel con- 
vinced you are neither surprised nor displeased by this 
avowal. — Do you really contemplate matrimony? Why, 
I thought you were an irreclaimable bachelor; but Lucy's 
bright eyes seem to have vanquished even your philosophy. 
Let me give you "Punch's advice to those about to marry". 



112 

— What is that? — "Don't 1 '. — But seriously what is 
your reply? — Why seriously I do not see that I can in- 
terfere in the matter at all. I am neither Lucy's father nor 
her guardian. — True; but as you have acted in that ca- 
pacity since she was deprived of her parents, and she has 
no adviser whom she can so confidently trust, she has 
signified her intention of appealing to you. — Then you 
have broached the subject formally to her? — Oh yes, I 
popped the question last night. — Very good. When she 
requests my advice, I shall state that the match is a good 
one in a worldly point of view. Your fortunes are about 
equal, and when they are united you will be comparatively 
wealthy. Without under-valuing the importance of this un- 
romantic consideration, it is in my opinion the smallest L 
advantage connected with the affair. You are a brave, in- 
telligent and amiable man; and her lowest recommendation 
is her extraordinary beauty. You are precisely suited for 
each other, and I know no man living to whose protection 
I would consign her so willingly as to yours. — I thank 
you from the bottom of my heart. — And now you had 
better walk away. I see my wife approaching with her 
sister. Lucy is a bashful girl and has persuaded her sister 
to act as interpreter to me. Drop into the room by accident L 
in about five minutes and you shall be put out of your 
misery. You are a rapacious fellow to be satisfied with , 
nothing less than my darling Lucy. I scarcely know how 
to spare her. 

96. 

Adolph , there is one aspect of this business which is a 
source of great dissatisfaction to my wife and myself. If j 
you run away with Lucy and settle down in Germany, I 
shall be robbed of a friend and my wife will lose her 
sister. — I have been discussing that matter with Miss 
Neville, and we have determined on this compromise: if 
you will spend the autumn with us, we will winter with 



413 

you, and finally, perhaps, we can either tempt you to migrate 
to the Continent , or you may induce us to make a perma- 
nent settlement in England. — I am afraid, that my business 
engagements and my family connexions will render the 
former alternative an impossibility. We must therefore 
employ all our eloquence to induce you to adopt the latter 
course unreservedly, but you are such an ardent lover of 
your fatherland that I fear we shall have but little chance 
of success. My only hope lies in Lucy, if she will use her 
influence on our behalf, we shall probably conquer. But it 
is hardly fair to take you at advantage and ensnare you 
into an immediate promise. We must wait a short time and 
debate the subject at greater leisure. What is your present 
\ plan of operations? — I must bid you an unwilling fare- 
| well for a few days , in order that I may pay a flying visit 
to my home and make the requisite preparations there; 
but you may depend upon it I shall return as speedily as 
I can. — We will not attempt to detain you. The sooner 
you go, the sooner you will come back; when do you think 
you shall depart? — I have already arranged to quit Eng- 
land the day after to-morrow. — ■ You are determined not 
to let the grass grow under your feet. — I promise you I 
will not loiter on the way. — Very good. We shall rejoice 
to welcome you again. — Before I go I must thank you, 
not very formally perhaps, but very earnestly, for your 
open-hearted hospitality. I shall always deem this visit 
the brightest experience of my life. I had no idea when I 
left home how much happiness was in store for me under 
your frowning and forbidding skies. — You had no 
gloomy forebodings that you were coming to lose your 
heart and be noosed into wedlock. — No truly! My object 
was to perfect myself in English by conversation and I 
can already discover that I have attained greater freedom 
in the employment of the language. — You have no cause 
to find fault with yourself, I am sure. You can speak our 
tongue well enough to make yourself an agreeable com- 
The English Echo. 8 



\ I K 

panion to your friends , and to persuade an excellent girl 
to accept you for a husband. You cannot reasonably wish 
for more than that at present. Your wife will instruct you 
more completely after marriage. From her lips the lessons 
will be doubly instructive, and you will make swifter strides 
than under any less attractive tuition. Good bye. 

97. 

Lucy, it is nearly a fortnight since Adolph took his de- j 
parture , and I have no hint of any intention on his part to 
return. I warn you that he is very inconstant; he has per- 
haps thought better of it since he left, or seen some more 
attractive beauty on his travels. — I am in no great dread 
of any such contingency. — Don't make too sure. You 
had better prepare evidence against him. You can get up 
a most telling case for a breach of promise , and lay the J 
damages at a high figure. — Will you be a principal wit- 
ness on my behalf? — With the greatest pleasure, if you - 
will share the plunder with me. You cannot expect me to 
tell tales of an old friend for nothing, but if you will bribe 
me heavily, I will submit to be subpoenaed for the plaintiff ii 
in Neville versus Hiller. — Your scruples are very creditable, 
to be sure, but I don't think I shall have to make you do 
violence to your feelings. — The fact is that Lucy got a i 
letter this morning with a foreign post-mark on it, and I 
suspect that she is in possession of later and more exclu- 
sive information than you enjoy. — Oh, the sly puss, and |< 
she kept it all to herself. Now the murder's out, tell us f 
what the truant has to say for himself. — I think I shan't 
divulge the purport of my correspondence until I find it \- 
necessary to produce it in court at the trial. — Nonsense ! 
out with it. I see you are intensely anxious to tell us what 
has made you smile so sweetly all the morning. — If I am to 
be coaxed so fulsomely as that, I must surrender at discre- 
tion. I fancy Mr. Hiller will shake hands with you to- ' 
morrow. He intends to come by the night-mail. — Hurrah. 



115 

re '11 be sure to drop in first thing in the morning; I 
i shouldn't wonder if he found his way here by breakfast 
time. I'll go out and buy you a box of rouge; we must try 
to deck you up as deceptively as possible. If we can de- 
lude the poor victim into thinking that you are good-look- 
ing it will be so much the better. "All's fair in love and 
war." — I am profoundly sensible of your kindness, but I 
shan't avail myself of it. I have a better receipt than rouge 
for imparting colour to my cheeks. — What is that? I 
suppose you'll pretend to blush, you arch deceiver. — 
Better still, and much simpler. I am going to take some 
out-door exercise. Health is the only perfect beautifier. 

Where are you off to ? — My sister and 1 are going to 
the Zoological gardens, and if you were not so dreadfully 
'! rude and tiresome , we would let you be of the party. — 
You have grown very saucy of late; but, to show what a 
forgiving spirit mine is, I will condescend to convoy you. 
— Well; as a very great favour, and in the hope of effect- 
ing some amendment in your manners, I have a good mind 
to deign to take you; but you must be on your best be- 
haviour. 

98. 

Here we are at the gardens. There are two or three 
novelties. What shall we see first? — We will begin with 
the ugliest. The hippopotamus. — What a fearful looking 
beast! It is a curiosity, certainly, but the most disgusting 
animal I ever beheld. — They have a young ourang-outang 
in this cage ; but it is so delicate that they hardly expect to 
keep it alive. The change of air does not agree with his 
constitution at all. — This is an American ant-eater, is it 
not? — It is; but let us go to the monkey-house, I always 
pay my respects to those gentlemen, there is moie fun to be 
had out of them than out of all the rest of the menagerie put 
together. — You plague them so desperately, it is quite 

8* 



1 16 

cruel of you. 1 confess I don't like to look at them, their 
resemblance to human nature is so great that to me the 
mockery is absolutely painful to contemplate. — What 
very elegant creatures these giraffes are. — Yes, and they p 
t>eem to know it. In what a stately way they arch those 
beautiful necks, and how dignified that tall fellow is in all 
his movements. — Give him that piece of biscuit. — Don't 
you see that notice-board? i 4 Visitors are respectfully re- 
quested not to feed the camelopards." — Oh, a little bit of 
plain ginger-bread will do him no harm. — It is safest not j 
to infringe any of the rules. We don't know what mischiet 
we may be doing, and the authorities would not make such 
an order without good and substantial reason. Besides, the 
example is pernicious. — Come then, let us search for the 
reptile house. — Do you see that quiet-looking serpent 
coiled up in the corner? He looks peaceable enough, in all 
conscience, doesn't he? — I don't know, there is a sharp 
vicious twinkle about his bright eye which looks wicked to 
me. — No wonder either. It is a cobra, the most venom- 
ous reptile in existence. One of the keepers got drunk 
one day, and was fool enough to take the brute out of its 
cage. — What a madman. Did it bite him? — It did, and 
the poor fellow died in a few hours. All the. medical 
science and surgical skill in London could not save htm. — 
What a miserable fate ! What is that very large serpent, 
with its tail curled round that tree? — A boa-constrictor. 
It took a strange freak into its head one day. I suppose 
it felt hungry, so it swallowed a blanket which was 
placed in its cage. It did not agree with its digestion 
though, and so in a day or two out came the whole blanket 
again, the same way it went in, and quite uninjured. — I 
should think such a dose .as that would ruin the appetite of 
even a boa. — What an unbearable noise those cockatoos 
make. Let us escape or I shan't recover my hearing for 
a week.

99. 

This is the house where my favoiites reside. I think 
the elephant is the sublimest animal on the face of the 
earth. Such vast strength combined with an instinct which 
approaches to reason. — What a mercy that these enor- 
jnious creatures are not conscious of their own power. If 
they w r ere, how vain would be all the means resorted to 
to keep them in subjection. That venerable animal would 
jtear down this palisading like a fence of reeds in spite of 
its apparent strength. — What an awful howl! whence does 
it proceed? — From the lion house, it is just about feeding 
time , let us see the operation performed. — That tiger is 
always pacing round his cell in that restless and uneasy 
jway. — It is a magnificent specimen of the Bengal tiger, 
the largest and fiercest of its class. — How he flings him- 
Iself on the food which the keeper thrusts into the den, it 
Is frightful to see him rend it to pieces. He must have im- 

!mense strength in his jaws, he crushes the largest bones 
like so much tinder. — Do you see how, ever and anon, he 
eyes that little child, he has evidently a most ferocious 
(longing to make a mouthful of the little cherub. 

Just look at that baboon crouching at the back of the 
cage. With what an air of satisfaction he munches the nuts 
he has received. — This seems to be a very old ape. — I 
recognise him as an ancient foe of mine. He is quite a 
tyrant over the smaller fry. I have often seen the hoary- 
headed old sinner chastise a younger one most unmerci- 
fully, for being lucky enough to secure some tit-bit on 
which he had set his heart. He is getting aged and stiff, 
and the little ones easily escape him when he puts himself 
into a rage. — See, he is chasing one of them now. — It is 
no use, the youngster outstrips him and so the ancient 
gentleman shakes the trellis-work violently in his impotent 
fury. Bah ! get back, Sir, don't make such an ass of your- 
self; don't sit there spitting and chattering. He'll burst a 
blood-vessel some day in a fit of passionate frenzy.

400. 

Now, vagrant! I am glad to see you back again. You 
have not wasted much time, I am bound to say that for 
you. — It seems an age since I left you. — I told the ladies 
that you would be here early this morning. I expect them 
down directly. Here is Lucy. Be good enough to excuse 
me for half a minute, I have just remembered that I have 
something important to communicate to my wife. I'll be 
back in a crack. 

Which way did you come ? — I had no choice of h 
routes, for my business compelled me to pass through 
Hamburgh and Hull; so I made the voyage between those 
two places. — I hope you had an easy passage. — No, it ■ 
was roiighish. Almost all the passengers on board were sea- E 
sick. I don't like to be unfeeling, but I cannot help think- ; 
ing that a man w r hen sea-sick is a most ludicrous spectacle. - 

— I can tell you he is most miserable. The sensation is £ 
detestable. I know nothing in the world to equal it. — It 
am never troubled with it. I am a very excellent sailor. — f 
I envy you, the first lurch of the vessel sets me all wrong. \ 

— I had my disagreeables to contend with. I had ever so ji 
much botheration with the Custom House searchers. — ! 
Were you detected in an abortive attempt at smuggling? — < 
No , I really don't understand what was the difficulty they f 
raised. It was some technical point which they have refer- fi 
red to head-quarters in London. — I believe they are more |a 
rigid than formerly. There has been a copious introduction :t 
of contraband goods into the country by tourists. Eachi: 
person brings a small quantity, and the total is immense. • 

— There were some flagrant cases brought to light. One li 
man had a barrel nominally containing bitter beer, but in \ 
reality full of the best Cognac brandy. The officers tasted - 
it, and confiscated the entire lot. — Tobacco and cigars - 
are very favorite subjects of amateur smugglers. — Several: 
boxes were seized without the slightest regard to the feel- 1 
ings of the owners, who were excessively disgusted a' 



1 19 

their exposure. ■ — When a man deliberately infringes the 
known provisions of a just law, he must take the chance 
of suffering for his hardihood. — I own I did not com- 
miserate them. 

101. 

My dear, Adolph has taken me utterly by surprise. lie 

proposes to be married on Wednesday week. The thing is 

i out of the question, it is impossible to get ready in time. 

— Why, to tell you the truth, Lucy made a confidant of 
me about a fortnight ago. Very soon after Mr. Hiller's re- 
turn from Germany we fixed on this date; but, partly to 
surprise you, and partly to escape your quizzing, it was 
determined not to let you into the secret. In the mean- 
time, however, we have been hard at work, and there will 
be no great difficulty in accomplishing it at the time speci- 
fied. — Outrageous! a rank rebellion against all constituted 
authority; my own wife involved in a conspiracy against 
me , and my own hearth the scene of the plot. I will spite 
you all. I forbid the banns. — That will be of little avail, 
as they are to be married by license. I think you had 
better submit with a good grace, and prepare to give the 
bride away. — Alas! I fear I am in the toils, and I must 
rest satisfied with an indignant protest. — I want to secure 
your kind offices in several indispensable matters. For 
example, will you recommend me to an engraver. I must 
order the wedding cards. Have you bespoken the bride- 
cake? — Lucy and I have attended to that; there is very little 
for you to do. — We shall want passports, and I am 
anxious to provide all the necessary paraphernalia for our 
tour on the Continent. — We will see to everything of the 
sort at once, it is a bad plan to leave anything to the last. 

— I should very much wish to get all these minutiae off my 
mind. — Adolph and I will sally forth into the City, you 
can make out a list of the parties to whom it is advisable 
to send cards, and so forth. — Lucy wishes the ceremony 



120 



to be performed with as little ostentation as possible; so' 
that we shall invite very few to the wedding breakfast. — 
I am of course entirely in your hands; are you ready to 
set out? — If you will grant me five minutes grace, I shall 
be at your service. — While Adolph is out of the room, I 
should like to know what wedding gift you would like to 
present to them. — I shall leave it entirely to your own 
judgment. Your taste in such matters is much better than 
mine. You are going to help Mr. Hiller to make his pur- 
chases, and while you are so engaged, you will be enabled 
to form a good idea of what will be the most acceptable 
present. Let me entreat you to put a check on your natural 
desire to make fun of Lucy; the poor thing is very ner- 
vous, as is natural under the circumstances; and you are 
such a sad wag that she is afraid you will half torment the 
life out of her. 

4 02. 

Adolph, are you dressed? — Come in. — How do you 
feel this morning? You have a serious ordeal to go through. 
Have you any twinges of fear or compunctions of con- 
science? If so, we can perhaps defer the mournful trial 
to another day. — I am proof to all your raillery, my 
dear friend. I am so happy that I hardly know how to 
contain myself. — You had better let me feel your pulse,, 
or shall I send for a glass of brandy and water to keep 
your spirits up ? — Joke away. You only add to my de- 
light by all your light-heartedness. — I think we had better 
go down stairs; the company are waiting, and the carriages 
have drawn up at the door. — How is Lucy this morning? 
— She has been in tears; hut I think women always make 
a point of weeping at a wedding. There is a large crowd of 
rabble round the coaches, admiring the favours of the 
drivers and the grooming of the horses. 

It is time we were off. With your permission, ladies 
and gentlemen, I will marshal you into the carriages. I 



121 

believe you know your order. I will lead the way. Lucy, 
my dear! come with me. For the last time in my lilt- I 
claim my best right to take you under my protection. 

Now it is all over. "For better, for worse", the deed 
is done and the carriage is waiting to convey you and your 
husband to the station. We shall not see you again for 
some months, and my wife and I must bid you farewell. 
My heart is so full that my gaiety must make way for 
seriousness. I cannot say, my dear Lucy, that I am sorry 
for this morning's occurrence, because I am convinced that 
it will tend to increase your happiness. You do not need 
that I should tell you how earnestly I hope for your wel- 
fare, and if I were surrendering you to any other man on 
earth than him you have chosen for your husband, I might 
be tempted to hesitate. Dry up those tears, and do not cry. 
God bless you! Adolph, I commit to you the woman you 
have sworn "to love, honour and cherish till death". Even 
your devotion has not discovered all her excellencies and 
virtues, for time only can fully develop them, and I gave 
her to you at the altar, in the conviction that experience, 
instead of dimming, would only brighten your affection and 
heighten your mutual felicity. From the very bottom of 
my heart do I pray that you may both be as happy as I 
believe you deserve to be. Take her away; the carriage 
waits, you must not miss your train; and you had better 
shorten the joyful sorrow of this parting scene. Let us 
hear from you as often as possible. Good bye.
